(D) Total cost price = $Rs. \, 2400$.Total desired profit = $20 \% 	ext{ of } 2400 = 0.20 	imes 2400 = Rs. \, 480$.Quantity sold at $5 \% 	ext{ loss} = 1/4 	imes 100 \, kg = 25 \, kg$.Cost price of $25 \, kg = 1/4 	imes 2400 = Rs. \, 600$.Loss on $25 \, kg = 5 \% 	ext{ of } 600 = 0.05 	imes 600 = Rs. \, 30$.Remaining quantity = $100 - 25 = 75 \, kg$.Remaining cost price = $2400 - 600 = Rs. \, 1800$.Let the required profit percentage on the remaining stock be $P$.Profit needed on remaining stock = $Rs. \, 480 + Rs. \, 30 = Rs. \, 510$.$P = (510 / 1800) 	imes 100 = 510 / 18 = 28.33 \% = 28 \frac{1}{3} \%$.
