    A 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 56% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 44% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 32% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the cost price of the clothing item be Rs. '100x'

    Marked price of the item = '100x' X 1.6 = Rs. '160x'

    Selling price of the item = '160x' X 0.9 = Rs. '144x'

    Profit earned on selling the item = '144x' - '100x' = Rs. '44x'

    Required profit percentage = {(44x/100x) X 100} = 44%
