Question

If eggs are bought 12 for Rs 10 and sold at 10 for Rs 12, what is the gain or loss%?

• A. 40% loss
• B. 44% gain
• C. 44% loss
• D. 40% gain
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B 44% gain


% gain or loss $=(\frac{xw}{zy}-1)\times 100\%$
$=(\frac{12\times 12}{10\times 10}-1)\times 100\%=(\frac{144}{100}-1)\times 100\%$
$=\frac{44}{100}\times 100\%=44\%$
Since the sign is +ve, therefore there is a profit of 44%.
