A. 70%
B. 80%
C. 100%
D. 125%
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Let the initial SP = 100After reducing 60% SP = 100 - 60 = 40
According to the question if the product is sold on 40 there is a loss of 10%.
Then CP = $$\frac{{40}}{{90}} \times 100 = \frac{{400}}{9}$$
Profit = $$100 - \frac{{400}}{9} = \frac{{500}}{9}$$
∴ Profit % = $$\frac{{\frac{{500}}{9}}}{{\frac{{400}}{9}}} \times 100 = 125\% $$
