(a) 35.8%
(b) 39.8%
(c) 45.2%
(d) 25.5%

Correct Answer is Option (a)
Gross Profit Ratio = Gross Profit / Revenue from Operations ×100
Gross Profit = Revenue from Operations – Net Purchases – Carriage Inward – Decrease in Inventory – Wages
= ₹ 2,50,000 – ₹ 1,00,000 – ₹ 4,000 – ₹ 15,000 – ₹ 18,000

Gross Profit Ratio = ₹ 1,13,000 / ₹ 2,50,000 = 45.2%

Correct Answer is Option (c)
