View Answer

Correct choice: B

Explanation:

Let wholesaler dealers marked price = 100%, Retailer's C.P = 80% And the retailer sells at 5% less than the marked price => S.P = 95% If S.P of 95% of the retailer costs Rs.19 to customer,so its C.P of 80% will cost 80 x 19/95 = 16 Profit made by the retailer = 19-16 = Rs.3
