If a shopkeeper earns 30% profit on a thing. If its price rises 25%. How much profit will he take?

A. 25%
B. 35%
C. 47%
D. None of these 

🧠 Explanation:

Given: Profit initially 30%; then price (interpreted as cost price) rises by 25%
Step 1: Let initial CP = 100; initial SP = 130 (30% profit)
Step 2: New CP = 100 × 1.25 = 125; assume SP unchanged = 130
Step 3: New profit = 130 − 125 = 5; profit% on new CP = 5/125 × 100 = 4%
Check: 4% does not match 25%, 35%, 47%; corresponds to “None of these”
Final Answer: None of these
