Solution

The correct option is B

SP > CP


Selling Price (SP) is the price at which a commodity or an item is sold.

Cost Price (CP) is the price at which an item is bought or purchased.

If the selling price of an article is more than its cost price, then it is sold at a profit.

The profit gained is calculated as:

Profit=Selling PriceCost Price

The correct answer is SP > CP.
