Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 : Quantity A < Quantity B

GIVEN:

C.P of 300 pens = Rs 1200

Profit = C.P of 36 pens

FORMULA USED:

Profit % = Profit/C.P × 100

CALCULATION:
C.P of 1 pen = 1200/300 = Rs 4

C.P of 36 pens = 36 × 4 = Rs 144

Required profit is Rs 144 on Rs 1200

∴ Profit% = (144/1200) × 100=  12%

∴ Profit is 12%.

∴ Quantity A < Quantity B
