A Correct answer
Explanation

Shopkeeper sells 920 gm instead of 1000 gm while charging for 1 kg. Effective selling price per kg = CP × 1.15. But he actually sells only 0.92 kg, so effective SP per kg = (1.15 × CP) ÷ 0.92 = 1.25 × CP. Actual profit = 25%. However, answer given is 25, which matches option A.
