$\sf Profit\%=\dfrac{Profit}{CP}\times 100$

$\sf Profit\%=\dfrac{17}{36}\times 100$

Profit% = 47.22%

(C)

CP = Rs 40

Profit = Rs 19

$\sf Profit\%=\dfrac{Profit}{CP}\times 100$

Profit% = 47.50%

(B)

CP = Rs 50

Profit = Rs 24

$\sf Profit\%=\dfrac{Profit}{CP}\times 100$

$\sf Profit\%=\dfrac{24}{50}\times 100$

Profit% = 48%

(D)

CP = Rs 60

Profit = Rs 29

$\sf Profit\%=\dfrac{Profit}{CP}\times 100$

$\sf Profit\%=\dfrac{29}{60}\times 100$
