      A 15% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 16% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 12% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the cost price = ₹100. Marked price = ₹100 + 40% of ₹100 = ₹140. Selling price = ₹140 - 20% of ₹140 = ₹140 - ₹28 = ₹112. Profit = ₹112 - ₹100 = ₹12. Profit percentage = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100 = (12 / 100) × 100 = 12%. Correct Option: d
