Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 25%

Given:

CP = 80% of SP

Formula used:

Profit% = (SP – CP)/CP × 100

Calculation:

CP = 80% of SP

⇒ CP = 80/100 × SP

⇒ CP = 4/5 × SP

⇒ CP/SP = 4/5

⇒ SP/CP = 5/4

⇒ SP/CP – 1 = 5/4 – 1               [Subtract 1 both sides]

⇒ (SP – CP)/CP = (5 – 4)/4

⇒ (SP – CP)/CP × 100 = 1/4 × 100

⇒ Profit% = 25%                       [Profit% = (SP – CP)/CP × 100]

Profit% is 25%.
