I think the answer is wrong.
2Sp = 2profit.
2sp = 2 (sp-cp),
3cp = 2sp,
Profit = 1.
Profit% = 50.
2Sp = 2profit.
2sp = 2 (sp-cp),
3cp = 2sp,
Profit = 1.
Profit% = 50.

Let c.p=x.
s.p=2x.
Profit = s.p - c.p.
Profit = 2x - x = x.
Profit % = x*100/x = 100%.
s.p=2x.
Profit = s.p - c.p.
Profit = 2x - x = x.
Profit % = x*100/x = 100%.
