      A 18% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      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. ‘SP’ and the cost price of 1 metre cloth be Rs. ‘CP’.

      ATQ,

      25 × SP – 25 × CP = 5 × CP

      Or, 25 × SP = 30 × CP

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

      Required profit percentage = {(6 – 5)/5} × 100 = 20%
