Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
Profit % (or loss %) \(=\) profit (or loss) \(\div\) cost price \(\times100\).
(A) CP Rs 250, SP Rs 300 — this matches (III) 20% profit. Profit \(=\) Rs 50 and \(\displaystyle\frac{50}{250}\times100=20\%\).
(B) CP Rs 800, SP Rs 680 — this matches (IV) 15% loss. Loss \(=\) Rs 120 and \(\displaystyle\frac{120}{800}\times100=15\%\).
(C) CP Rs 160, SP Rs 200 — this matches (I) 25% profit. Profit \(=\) Rs 40 and \(\displaystyle\frac{40}{160}\times100=25\%\).
(D) CP Rs 450, SP Rs 405 — this matches (II) 10% loss. Loss \(=\) Rs 45 and \(\displaystyle\frac{45}{450}\times100=10\%\).
