Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 20%

Given:

Cost price of 12 pens = Selling price of 10 pens

Formula Used:

Profit percentage = {(S.P – C.P)/C.P} × 100

Calculation:

Let the C.P. of each pen = Rs. 1

C.P. of 12 pens = Rs. 12

S.P. of 10 pens = Rs. 12

C.P of 10 pens = Rs. 10

Profit = Rs. (12 – 10) = Rs. 2

Profit % = (2/10) × 100 = 20%

∴ Profit percentage is 20%
