    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

     

    Cost Price of 1 toy = Rs. [\(\frac { 375 } {1 2 }]\)     = Rs. 31.25
     

     

    Selling Price of 1 toy = Rs. 33

     

    So, Gain = Rs. (33 - 31.25) = Rs. 1.75

     

     Profit % =   \(\frac { 1.75 } { 31.25 } \)x 100 % =   \( \frac { 28} {5 } \)% = 5.6%
