Option 1: $\frac{4}{\sqrt3}$

Option 2: $\frac{\sqrt2+2}{2\sqrt2}$

Option 3: $\frac{7}{2\sqrt3}$

Option 4: $\frac{4}{2\sqrt3}$

$(\sec Z+\frac{2}{\sqrt3})$
= $(\sec(90°-60°)+\frac{2}{\sqrt3})$
= $(\sec30°+\frac{2}{\sqrt3})$
= $(\frac{2}{\sqrt3}+\frac{2}{\sqrt3})$
= $\frac{4}{\sqrt3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{4}{\sqrt3}$.

So, Selling price $=\frac{140}{100}×\frac{4x}{5}=\frac{28x}{25}$
Profit = Selling Price – Labelled Price = $\frac{28x}{25}- x$ = $\frac{3x}{25}$
The percentage of profit on the
