Correct answer: (D) 53.3%
Let CP = 100. Selling at 2/5 of actual SP gives a 27% loss, so 0.4×(actual SP) = 73 → actual SP = 182.5. At 84% of actual SP, price = 0.84×182.5 = 153.3. Profit % = (153.3-100)/100×100 = 53.3%.

सही उत्तर: (D) 53.3%
मान लें CP = 100। वास्तविक विक्रय मूल्य के 2/5 पर बेचने पर 27% हानि होती है, अतः 0.4×(वास्तविक SP) = 73 → वास्तविक SP = 182.5। वास्तविक SP के 84% पर मूल्य = 0.84×182.5 = 153.3। लाभ% = (153.3-100)/100×100 = 53.3%।
