Correct answer: (A) 50%
Let CP = Rs 1 per gram, so CP of 1000 g = Rs 1000. Marked price for claimed 1000 g = 1000 × 1.20 = Rs 1200. Actual goods given = 800 g, whose cost = Rs 800. Profit = 1200 − 800 = Rs 400. Profit % = (400/800) × 100 = 50%.

सही उत्तर: (A) 50%
मान लीजिए लागत मूल्य = 1 रुपये प्रति ग्राम, अतः 1000 ग्राम का लागत मूल्य = 1000 रुपये। दावा किए गए 1000 ग्राम का अंकित मूल्य = 1000 × 1.20 = 1200 रुपये। वास्तव में दिया गया माल = 800 ग्राम, जिसकी लागत = 800 रुपये। लाभ = 1200 − 800 = 400 रुपये। लाभ % = (400/800) × 100 = 50%।
