Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 6.90%

Given:

C.P of fan = Rs. 1200

Expenditure on transportation = Rs. 16

S.P of fan = Rs. 1300

Formula used:

Profit% = (Profit/C.P) × 100

Calculation:

Total cost = Rs. (1200 + 16)

⇒ Rs. 1216

Profit = Rs. (1300 – 1216)

⇒ Rs. 84

Profit% = (84/1216) × 100

⇒ 6.90%

∴ The profit percentage is 6.90%
