Detailed Solution

Given that, goods are marked 40% above the cost price, discount percent is 5%.
Now, discount percentage is,

Discount % = Discount MP (100) ⇒ Discount = Discount % × MP 100

Here, MP is marked price.
Let the CP of the item be Rs.

x

MP = x + 40 x 100

⇒ 1.4 x

Selling price (SP) is,

SP = MP − Discount

⇒ Discount = MP − SP ⇒ MP − Discount % 100 (MP) = SP ⇒ 1.4 x − 5 (1.4 x) 100 = 1064 ⇒ x (1.4) (0.95) = 1064 ⇒ x = 1064 1.33 ⇒ x = R s .800

Now, profit is,

Profit = R s .1064 − R s .800 ⇒ R s .264

Thus, the actual profit by the shopkeeper is Rs.264.
Therefore, option (2) is correct.
