A Correct answer
Explanation

Selling 5 toffees for Rs. 1 means selling price per toffee = Rs. 0.20. At 20% loss, cost price per toffee = 0.20/0.80 = Rs. 0.25. Selling 3 toffees for Rs. 1 means SP per toffee = Rs. 0.333. Profit = 0.333 - 0.25 = 0.0833. Profit percent = (0.0833/0.25) × 100 = 33.33%.
