Mukesh buys 15 bananas for ₹125 and sells 20 bananas for ₹180. Find the percentage of his profit.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 8%.

CP per banana = 125/15 ​= ₹8.33

SP per banana = 180/20 ​= ₹9

Profit per banana = ₹9 − ₹8.33 = ₹0.67

Profit % = (Profit/CP​) × 100 = (0.67/8.33​) × 100 = 8%
