A Correct answer
Explanation

Profit on selling price (SP) is 25%. If SP = 100, profit = 25, then Cost Price (CP) = 75. Profit percentage on CP = (Profit / CP) * 100 = (25 / 75) * 100 = 100/3%.

AI explanation

Using the profit percentage on cost formula, assume the selling price is 100 rupees, making the profit 25 rupees and the cost price 75 rupees. To find the actual profit percentage, divide the 25 rupee profit by the 75 rupee cost price and multiply by 100, which gives 100/3 %. The result is 100/3 %.
