    C 50% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 60% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 54% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Friends, we know we will need gain amount to get gain percent, right. So lets get gain first.
    Let the cost price of 1 pen is Re 1
    Cost of 8 pens = Rs 8
    Selling price of 8 pens = 12
    Gain = 12 - 8 = 4
    Gain% = (Gain/Cost× 100)%
    => [(4/8)× 100]% = 50%
