If an article is sold at a gain of 6% instead of at a loss of 6% then the seller gets Rs. 6 more. The C.P. of the article is?

Rs. 50
Rs. 94
Rs. 100
Rs. 106

Correct Answer: Rs. 50

Explanation:

∵ 6% of C.P. + 6% of C.P. = Rs. 6
⇒ 12% of C.P. = Rs. 6
⇒ 12 / 100 x CP = 6
⇒ CP = (100 x 6) / 12 = 50
∴ C.P. = Rs. 50
