Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: A

Explanation

To determine the ratio between the profit and the cost price, we use the relationship between Sale Price (SP), Cost Price (CP), and Profit.

  • The given ratio of Sale Price to Cost Price is SP:CP = 7:4.
  • Let the Cost Price (CP) be 4x and the Sale Price (SP) be 7x.
  • Profit is defined as: Profit = SP - CP = 7x - 4x = 3x.

The ratio between the profit and the cost price is:

Profit/CP = 3x/4x = 3/4

Therefore, the ratio is 3:4. Option A is the correct answer.
