Answer: Option
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 % = |

The simple way of this question solution is:
The cost price is 5/6.
The selling price is 6/5.
Percent formula is = s.p -c.p/c.p * 100,
= 1.2 - 0.8/0.8 * 100,
= 44%.
The cost price is 5/6.
The selling price is 6/5.
Percent formula is = s.p -c.p/c.p * 100,
= 1.2 - 0.8/0.8 * 100,
= 44%.

(6/5) = (5/6)
36 = 25
So profit is 11 and c.p is 25.
Gain% = (11/25) × 100.
36 = 25
So profit is 11 and c.p is 25.
Gain% = (11/25) × 100.

CP of 1 article : 5/6 = 0.83.
SP of 1 article:6/5 = 1.2 and profit = 1.2 - 0.83 = 0.37.
Gain% = (0.37 * 100)/0.83 = 44.
SP of 1 article:6/5 = 1.2 and profit = 1.2 - 0.83 = 0.37.
Gain% = (0.37 * 100)/0.83 = 44.

RS ARTICLE
5 6
6 5
.PROFIT = 6 * 6 - 5 * 5 = 11
P%= 11/25*100 = 44.
Note;
it seems profit then (larger value - small value).
if shown loss ther (less value -large value)
5 6
6 5
.PROFIT = 6 * 6 - 5 * 5 = 11
P%= 11/25*100 = 44.
Note;
it seems profit then (larger value - small value).
if shown loss ther (less value -large value)

CP OF 6 ART FOR 5RS = RS.0.83
SP OF 5 ART FOR 6RS = RS.1.2
PROFIT% = SP - CP/CP * 100.
= 1.2-0.83/0.83 * 100.
= 44.5%.
SP OF 5 ART FOR 6RS = RS.1.2
PROFIT% = SP - CP/CP * 100.
= 1.2-0.83/0.83 * 100.
= 44.5%.

6 articles cost Rs 5.
1 articles will cost Rs 5/6,
5 articles will cost Rs 25/6,
Profit = (6-25/6)=11/6,
%profit = (pf/cp)*100,
%pf = (11/6)/(25/6)*100,
%pf = 44%.
1 articles will cost Rs 5/6,
5 articles will cost Rs 25/6,
Profit = (6-25/6)=11/6,
%profit = (pf/cp)*100,
%pf = (11/6)/(25/6)*100,
%pf = 44%.
