    Solution:

    Given, Sam purchased 20 dozens of toys at the rate of Rs. 375 per dozen.
    He sold each one at the rate of Rs. 33.
    The cost of one toy = Rs. 37512
    = Rs. 31.25 The selling price of 1 toy = Rs. 33 So,
    Gain = Rs. (33-31.25)
    =Rs.1.75 ∴ Profit% =GainSelling price×100
    = (1.75331.25×100)%
    = 5.6% So, profit gain is 5.6%.
    Hence, option 3 is correct.
