Question

A man bought $3$ toffees for a rupee. How many toffees for a rupee should he sell to gain $50\%$?

• A. $2$
• B. $3$
• C. $4$
• D. $1$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $2$

S.P of $3$ toffees $=150\%$ of Rs. $1=\frac{3}{2}$
For Rs. $\frac{3}{2}$, toffees sold $=3$.

For Rs. $1$ toffees sold $=\left(\begin{array}{c}3\times \frac{2}{3}\end{array}\right)=2$
