    D None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Both I and II together Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From I: Since we don't know either CP is greater or SP is greater. So, we cannot determine the profit%. From II: CP of the article = 4/5 × 44000 = 35200 Profit = 44000 - 35200 = 8800 Profit% = 8800/35200 × 100 = 25%
