Explanation

Total profit = 337.50 + 1125.00 + 675 = Rs. 2137.50. Percentage profit = (2137.50 / 114000) × 100 = 1.876%, which rounds to 1.8%. Option A (4.8%) overestimates the profit significantly. Options B (3.8%), D (2.8%), and E (3.2%) are all incorrect calculations that don't match the actual profit distribution.
