The profit percentage by way of selling an article for ₹180 is the same as the loss percentage by selling it for ₹120. How much is the profit or loss percentage?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 20.

(180 - CP) = (CP - 120)

⇒ 180 + 120 = 2CP

⇒ CP = 150

Profit percentage = (180 - 150)/150 × 100 = 20%
