• cp=(100/profit in 100's)* selling price
  cp=(100/105)*42
  cp=40 rs

• (42/cp )-1=1/20
  42/cp=21/20
  cp=40

• {(42-40)/40}*100=5%

• ( (SP - CP ) / (CP) ) * 100 = profit%
  ( (42-CP) / CP) * 100 = 5
  20 * (42 - CP) = CP
  20 * 42 = 20CP +CP
  20 * 2 = CP
  CP = 40

• ans is c sp/cp=105/100=42/cp solving this cp =40 mrp is not considerd for finding profit

• cp=sp*100/(100+profit)
  4200/105
  40

• let CP be x
  then x+x*5/100=42
  so x=4200/105
  x=40

• given that
  selling price = Rs 42
  profit = 5 %
  so cost price =( 100/100+profit )*selling price
  cost price = 100/105*42 = Rs 40

• CP=100/(100+GAIN)*SP
  CP=100/(100+5)*42
  CP=40

• 105%=42
  then 100%=?
