Solution

The correct option is C: 21% gain

Consider the price of each orange

CP of 1 orange =Rs. 1011
, SP of 1 orange =Rs. 1110

1011=0.90 and 1110=1.1

SP>CP, then there is gain.

Gain %=SPCPCP×100%

=111010111011×100%

=(11×11)(10×10)10×11×1110×100%

=121100100×100%

=21%

Since the profit percentage is positive, the net transaction is a profit.

Hence, the gain % is 21%
