Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 2 : Profit 12%

Given:

The marked price of TV = 40% higher than CP

Discount is given by the Trader = 20%

Formula used:

S.P = M.P × (100 – D%)/100

S.P = C.P × (100 + P%)/100

P = S.P – C.P

P% = (P/C.P) × 100

Where,

S.P → Selling price

M.P → Marked price

D% → Discount%

P% → Profit%

P → Profit

C.P → Cost price

Calculation:

Let the price of T.V be 100x

Marked price is 40% more = 100x + 100x × (40/100) = 140x

S.P of the T.V after 20% discount = 140x × 80/100 = 112x

Profit = 112x – 100x = 12x

Profit% = (12x/100x) × 100

⇒ Profit% = 12%

Profit% is 12%
