Question

Some articles were bought at $6$ articles for Rs.$5$ and sold at $5$ articles for Rs. $6$. Gain percent is

• A. $33$%
• B. $33\frac{1}{3}$%
• C. $35$%
• D. $44$%

Answer 1

The correct option is D $44$%

Given,

$6$ Article price at buying $=5$ Rs

$1$ Article price at buying $=\frac{5}{6}...\left(i\right)$

$5$ Articles sold at Rs. $6$

$1$ Articles cost at sold $=\frac{6}{5}....\left(ii\right)$

% $Gain=\left(\frac{\frac{6}{5}-\frac{5}{6}}{\frac{5}{6}}\right)\times 100=\frac{11}{25}\times 100=44$%
