    A 100% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 140% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 200% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 120% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the marked price = Rs. 100x then profit = 25% of 100x = Rs 25x
    Cost price = 100x – 25x = Rs 75x
    New marked price = 100x × 3 = Rs 300x
    Selling price = (100 – 40) % of 300x = 60% of 300x = Rs 180x
    The reqd. profit % = (180x – 75x)/75x × 100 = 140%
