Options- A. 3
- B. 4
- C. 5
- D. can't be determined
- Correct Answer
- 5
ExplanationYou can go through options.
CP = 100 / 6 = 16.66 paisa
SP = 100 / 5 = 20 paisa
Profit (%) = [( 20 - 16.66 ) / 16.66 ] X 100
= [ 3.33 /16.66 ] X 100
= ( 1 / 5 ) X 100 = 20%
Hence, option (c) is correct.
Alternatively:
CP = 100 / 6
SP = ( 100 / 6 ) X 1.2 = 100 / 5
Hence, he should sell 5 toffees for Re. 1 (100 paisa) - 1. In, ?ABC, D and E are the mid-points of AB and AC respectively. Find the ratio of the areas of ?ADE and ?ABC.
