Explanation:

Let he buys 6 toffees
Case 1: 3 toffees per Re so 6 toffees for Rs 2
Case 2: 2 toffees per Re so 6 toffees for Rs 3
Total CP of 12 toffees = 2+3 = 5
Now he sold at 3 for Rs 2.

So 12 toffees for Rs 8
Now CP = Rs 5, SP = Rs 8,

so profit% = 3/5 * 100 = 60% profit

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
