    A 108.76% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 269.54% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 228.32% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 216.66% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Original profit = 30% Let the original C.P = Rs. 100 ∴ S.P = Rs.130 Now, New C.P = Rs. 80 And New S.P = 120 % of 130 = Rs. 156 ∴ New Profit % =   76/80   × 100 = 95% ∴ % change in profit percent =   (95-30)/30   × 100 = 65/30   × 100 = 216.66% approx.
