A. 20%
B. 30%
C. $$38\frac{1}{{13}}$$%
D. $$29\frac{3}{{13}}$$%
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{According to the question,}} \cr & {\text{Cost price}} = \frac{{13}}{{15}}{\text{ Selling price}} \cr & \frac{{{\text{Cost price}}}}{{{\text{Selling price}}}} = \frac{{13}}{{15}} \cr} $$If they sold 12% more then its, old selling price.
So, new selling price is
$$\eqalign{ & = 15 + \frac{{12}}{{100}} \times 15 \cr & = 16.8 \cr} $$
∴ Profit = Selling price - Cost price
= 16.8 - 13
= 3.8
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Profit }}\% = \frac{{3.8}}{{13}} \times 100 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 29\frac{3}{{13}}\% \cr} $$
