Option 'b' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Rate of weights he is showing less = 15%

Profit % = 20%

So, here

r = 15

R= 20

So, total gain percentage is given by

\dfrac{(100+20)-(100-15)}{100-15}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{120-85}{85}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{35}{85}\times 100\\\\=41.17\%

Hence, Option 'b' is correct.
