Correct Answer:

40%

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4- 40%.

Cost of revenue from operations = Opening inventory + Purchase + Carriage - Closing Inventory
                                                    = 30000 + 250000 + 12000-40000
                                                    = ₹252000
Gross profit = Total revenue from operations -  Cost of revenue from operations
                    = 420000 - 252000
                    = ₹168000
Gross profit ratio = Gross profit / Revenue from operations X 100
                           = 168000/420000 X 100
                           = 40%
