Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Cost price}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 1500}} \cr
& {\text{Profit after selling}} \cr
& = 25\% {\text{ of }}1500 \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.375}} \cr
& {\text{Net profit }} \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.375}} - {\text{Rs}}{\text{.75}} \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.300}} \cr
& {\text{Net profit }}\% \cr
& = \frac{{300}}{{1500}} \times 100 \cr
& = 20\% \cr} $$
