Solution

The correct option is B

33.33%


Method I:

5 pens are gained on selling 15 pens.

Profit %= 5/15*100= 33.33 %

Method II:

Let the CP of one pen be Rs. x.

Now, SP of 15 pen = CP of 20 pen = 20x

Total CP of 15 pen = 15x

Hence, profit = [(SP – CP)/CP] × 100 = [(20x – 15x)/15x] × 100 = 100/3 = 33.33%

विधि 1 :

15 पेनों को बेचने पर 5 पेन मिलते है।

लाभ प्रतिशत = 5/15×100=33.33 प्रतिशत

विधि 2:

माना कि एक पेन का क्र.मू. X रू. है।

अब, 15 पेन का वि.मू. = 20 पेन का लागत मूल्य = 20x

15 पेन का कुल लागत मूल्य = 15x

इस प्रकार, लाभ = [(SP – CP)/CP] × 100 = [(20x – 15x)/15x] × 100 = 100/3 = 33.33 प्रतिशत
