Given:

Cost Price (CP) = ₹600

Selling Price (SP) = ₹750

Formula used:

Profit Percentage = \(\frac{SP - CP}{CP} \times 100\)

Calculations:

Profit = SP - CP

⇒ Profit = 750 - 600

⇒ Profit = 150

Profit Percentage = \(\frac{Profit}{CP} \times 100\)

⇒ Profit Percentage = \(\frac{150}{600} \times 100\)

⇒ Profit Percentage = 0.25 × 100

⇒ Profit Percentage = 25%

∴ The correct answer is option (3).
