When something is changed by x% & changed by y%.
The net change is given by,
[+/-]X [+/-]y [+/-]XY/100
+ for increase
- for decrease

=X-Y-XY/100
=40-15-(40*25)/100
=5%

5% of CP=100
So, CP=20000
SP=CP+1000=21000

IMO A

In case of subjunctive, infinitive form of verb is used without 'to'.
so in option C, 'to strike' is wrong.

not only by WHAT patients eat but also by WHEN they eat it

Only choice E shows parallelism as both 'what' and 'when' are asking questions.

None is sigular, so 'have been' is wrong here. Eliminate choices a & e.

Its a present perfect tense as the action of solving puzzle is going on since morning. Eliminate choice b.

The correct answer lies between c & d
