  1. Question 1

    Q1. A man sells an article at a 20% profit. If he had bought it at 20% less than the original cost, what would be his profit percentage?

    • A) 50%
    • B) 60%
    • C) 40%
    • D) 30%

    Answer: 50%

    Explanation: Let's denote the original cost as 100. Selling price = 120. If he bought it at 20% less, the cost = 80. Profit = 120 - 80 = 40. Profit percentage = (40 / 80) * 100 = 50.
