Options:

16.6

13

15.4

15

Correct Answer:

13

Explanation:

25% = \(\frac{1}{4}\)

                      CP = 4 unit

                     MP = 5 unit

                     SP = 5 × \(\frac{90.4}{100}\) = 4.52 unit

Profit percentage = \(\frac{(4.52 - 4)}{4}\) × 100

                         = 13%
