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

Correct Answer: 44%

Explanation:

Suppose, number of articles bought = L.C.M. of 6 and 5 = 30.


C.P. of 30 articles = Rs. 5 x 30 = Rs. 25.
6



S.P. of 30 articles = Rs. 6 x 30 = Rs. 36.
5



∴ Gain % = 11 x 100 ❩% = 44%.
