    1. 25%
    2. 20%
    3. 16.67%
    4. 15%
Correct Option: B

Given in question , C.P. for Arun = Rs. 120

C.P. for Swati = Rs.
120 × 125
= Rs. 150
100

C.P. for Divya = Rs.
100
× 198 = Rs. 180
110

∴ S.P. for Swati = Rs. 180
Profit = S.P. for Swati - C.P. for Swati = 180 - 150 = $ 30
∴ Profit percent =
30
× 100 =
30 × 2
= 20 %
