Question

Mark (✓) against the correct answer
A man buys a book for Rs 80 and sells it for Rs 100. His gain % is

(a) 20%
(b) 25%
(c) 120%
(d) 125%

Answer 1

(b) 25%

CP of the book = Rs. 80
SP of the book = Rs. 100
Gain = SP - CP = Rs. (100 - 80) = Rs. 20
$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Gain}\%=\left(\frac{\mathrm{Gain}}{\mathrm{CP}}\times 100\right)\% \\ =\left(\frac{20}{80}\times 100\right)\% \\ =25\% \end{gathered}$$
