Profit percentage on saree type A = 40 – 20 + 40(–20)/100 = 12% 

Profit percentage on saree type C = 8% (found in previous question)

Profit percentage on saree type D = 5% (found in previous question) 

Profit percentage on saree type E = 50 – 20 + 50(–20)/100 = 20% 

Among the options provided, E has the highest profit percent of 20%

Thus for the same selling price, E will have the least cost price, and hence, the highest profit amount.

Hence, the type of hand-woven Murshidabad-silk saree which type fetched the Tantuja Store in Kolkata the highest amount of profit was E
