Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Let CP be Rs. 100. Then, marked price = Rs. 125$$\eqalign{ & {\text{SP}} = 84\% \,{\text{of}}\,{\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,125 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,\left( {\frac{{84}}{{100}} \times 125} \right) \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,105 \cr} $$
∴ Profit = (105 - 100)% = 5%
