Given:

Cost Price (CP) = ₹4,800

Repair Cost = ₹500

Selling Price (SP) = ₹6,360

Formula used:

Profit Percentage = \(\dfrac{Profit}{Cost Price} \times 100\)

Calculation:

Total Cost Price (CP) = ₹4,800 + ₹500 = ₹5,300

Profit = SP - CP

⇒ Profit = ₹6,360 - ₹5,300 = ₹1,060

Profit Percentage = \(\dfrac{1,060}{5,300} \times 100\)

⇒ Profit Percentage = \(\dfrac{1,060}{5,300} \times 100\)

⇒ Profit Percentage = 0.2 × 100 = 20% or 20/100 = 0.2

∴ The correct answer is option (2).
