Explanation:

Price is marked 20% above Cost Price.
Therefore,
If Cost Price = 100%
Marked Price = 120%
The value of Marked Price (120%) is provided to us in the question as 180.
Also, the Paper cost in the graph is 25%.
So, the equation becomes,

180/120 x 25 = 37.5

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
