A

$25$

B

C

$16.67$

D

$15$

Solution

Arun $\Rightarrow C \cdot P =₹ 120$

$S.P =125 \%(120)=₹ 150$

Swati $\Rightarrow C.P =₹ 150$

$S.P =₹ 180$ [given]

Divya $\Rightarrow C.P =₹ \frac{198}{110} \times 100=₹ 180$

$S.P =₹ 198$

$\therefore$ Profit $\%=\frac{180-150}{150} \times 100=\frac{1}{5} \times 100=20 \%$
