We need to calculate the new profit percentage when the cost price increases by 5% and the selling price remains constant. We will start by assuming an initial cost price, calculate the initial selling price based on the given profit percentage, and then adjust the cost price to find the new profit.
Assume Initial Cost Price (CP):
Let the initial Cost Price \((\text{CP}_1)\) be Rs. 100.
\[ \text{CP}_1 = 100 \]Calculate Initial Profit:
The profit percentage is 20% of the cost.
\[ \text{Profit}_1 = 20\% \text{ of } \text{CP}_1 = 0.20 \times 100 = 20 \]Calculate Initial Selling Price (SP):
Selling Price is Cost Price plus Profit.
\[ \text{SP} = \text{CP}_1 + \text{Profit}_1 = 100 + 20 = 120 \]Calculate New Cost Price (CP_2):
The cost increases by 5%.
\[ \text{CP}_2 = \text{CP}_1 + 5\% \text{ of } \text{CP}_1 = 100 + (0.05 \times 100) = 100 + 5 = 105 \]Determine New Selling Price:
The selling price remains the same.
\[ \text{New SP} = \text{SP} = 120 \]Calculate New Profit:
New Profit is New Selling Price minus New Cost Price.
\[ \text{Profit}_2 = \text{New SP} - \text{CP}_2 = 120 - 105 = 15 \]Calculate New Profit Percentage:
New Profit Percentage is (New Profit / New Cost Price) \(\times\) 100.
\[ \text{New Profit Percentage} = \frac{\text{Profit}_2}{\text{CP}_2} \times 100 = \frac{15}{105} \times 100 \] \[ \text{New Profit Percentage} = \frac{1}{7} \times 100 = 14.2857...\% \]Rounding to one decimal place, this is 14.3% or approximately 14.2% as per the options.
Correct Option: B) 14.2%
