E Correct answer
Explanation

Shopkeeper sells at cost price but gives only 800 gm instead of 1000 gm. For every 1000 gm paid, customer receives 800 gm, meaning shopkeeper saves 200 gm worth of goods. Profit = (200/800) × 100 = 25%. The claimed answer E (None of these) is correct since 25% is not listed in options A-D.
