Correct answer: (D) 27.1%
Take CP=100 for 1 kg. Marked price=124, after 18% discount SP=101.68 for what is billed as 1 kg but is actually only 800 g, so the effective SP per true kg = 101.68*(1000/800)=127.1, giving profit% = 27.1%.

सही उत्तर: (D) 28%
1 किग्रा के लिए CP=100 मानें। अंकित मूल्य=124, 18% छूट के बाद SP=101.68 जो 1 किग्रा के लिए बिल किया गया परन्तु वास्तव में केवल 800 ग्राम है, इसलिए वास्तविक प्रति किग्रा प्रभावी SP = 101.68*(1000/800)=127.1, जिससे लाभ% = 27.1% प्राप्त होता है।
