    A 87(10/27)% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 85(5/27)% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 84(5/27)% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 86(6/27)% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let Cost Price (CP) of 1 kg goods = 100 He claims to sell at CP ⇒ Selling Price for “1 kg” = 100 But actual weight given = 54% of 1 kg (since 46% less) So, CP of goods actually given = 54 Profit = SP − CP Profit = 100 − 54 = 46 Profit % = (46 / 54) × 100 = 85(5/27)
