    B 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 32% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the selling price of 1 metre cloth be Rs. тАШSPтАЩ and the cost price of 1 metre cloth be Rs. тАШCPтАЩ.

    ATQ,

    25 ├Ч SP тАУ 25 ├Ч CP = 5 ├Ч CP

    Or, 25 ├Ч SP = 30 ├Ч CP

    Or, SP/CP = 30/25 = 6/5

    Required profit percentage = {(6 тАУ 5)/5} ├Ч 100 = 20%
