Percentage profit = $$\dfrac{\Pr ofit}{Cost\ \Pr ice}\times100$$

(A) Cost price : ₹36, Profit: ₹17

Percentage profit = $$\dfrac{17}{36}\times100$$ = 47.22%

(B) Cost price : ₹50, Profit : ₹24

Percentage profit = $$\dfrac{24}{50}\times100$$ = 48%

(C) Cost price : ₹40, Profit : ₹19

Percentage profit = $$\dfrac{19}{40}\times100$$ = 47.5%

(D) Cost price : ₹60, Profit : ₹29

Percentage profit = $$\dfrac{29}{60}\times100$$ = 48.33%

Thus, percentage profits are in this sequence D > B > C > A
