Question 9 Back to Exercise
Some articles were bought at 6 articles for ₹ 5 and sold at 5 articles for ₹ 6. Gain percent is:

  • A 30%
  • B 33.33%
  • C 35%
  • D 44% Correct
Correct Answer: Option D

Suppose, number of articles bought = L.C.M. of 6 and 5 = 30.

C.P. of 30 articles = ₹ ( 5 x 30 ) = ₹ 25.
6

S.P. of 30 articles = ₹ ( 6 x 30 ) = ₹ 36.
5

∴ Gain % = ( 11 x 100 )% = 44%.
25
