Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 92.9%.

CP per carrot = 36/50 = ₹0.72

SP per carrot = 50/36 ≈ ₹1.3889

Profit % = (SP−CPCP)×100=(1.3889−0.720.72)×100=(0.66890.72)×100≈92.9%\left( \frac{SP - CP}{CP} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{1.3889 - 0.72}{0.72} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{0.6689}{0.72} \right) \times 100 ≈ 92.9\%
