• A. 20%
• B. 40%
• C. 15%
• D. 25%

Answer 1

The correct option is D 25%

Selling price of the dress = ₹2500
Profit = ₹500
$\Rightarrow$ Cost price = Selling price - Profit
= 2500 - 500 = ₹2000

Let profit percentage be a%.

a% of Cost price = Profit
$\Rightarrow \frac{a}{100}\times 2000=500$
$\Rightarrow a=25$

Therefore, Dia made a profit of 25%.
