Correct Answer: 40%
Solution : Given: The selling price = 140% of cost price $\therefore$ $\frac{\text{selling price}}{\text{cost price}}=\frac{140}{100}$ Let the selling price and the cost price be $140x$ and $100x$ respectively. So, the profit percentage = $\frac{\text{selling price - cost price}}{\text{cost price}}\times100$ = $\frac{140-100}{100}\times100$ = 40% Hence, the correct answer is 40%.
