Some articles were bought at 6 articles for Rs. 5 and sold at 5 articles for Rs. 6. Gain percent is:
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 % = |
|
11 | x 100 | % = 44%. |
| 25 |

I think as 6+5=11.
So 11 came in the solution.
So 11 came in the solution.

cp of 1 artical = 5/6.
sp of 1 artical = 6/5.
Gain% = sp-cp/cp * 100.
Gain% = (5/6-6/5)/(5/6) * 100 = 44%.
sp of 1 artical = 6/5.
Gain% = sp-cp/cp * 100.
Gain% = (5/6-6/5)/(5/6) * 100 = 44%.

How we get 30?

@Goursa.
30 (L.C.M of 6,5)
30 (L.C.M of 6,5)

First, we must find the value of 1 article sp and sp.
Second than we find cp/sp ratio.
Cp/sp= 5/6*5/6 = 25/36.
Third find profit:
Sp-cp=36-25 = 11.
Lastly, we must find the percentage profit that is :
11/25 * 100 = 44%.
Second than we find cp/sp ratio.
Cp/sp= 5/6*5/6 = 25/36.
Third find profit:
Sp-cp=36-25 = 11.
Lastly, we must find the percentage profit that is :
11/25 * 100 = 44%.

6 Articles 5 Rs.
So, now find the cost of one article = 5/6 which is 0.833.
He sold 5 articles will be Rs.6 So again find the cost of one article = 6/5 which is 1.2.
So we know profit = SP - CP = 1.2 - 0.833 = 0.367.
Profit % = (0.367/0.833) * 100 = 4.05%.
Hope it will help you.

Take it simple
6 Articles are brought for Rs 5 and 5 Articles Sold for RS 6.
Cost Price of 1 Article =5/6 and selling price of 1 Article = 6/5
Gain% = (Gain/CP)*100.
Gain=SP - CP.
= (6/5-5/6) =(36-25)/30=11/30=0.366
Gain% = (11/30/6/5)*100=(0.366/0.833) * 100 = 44%
Hope it helps.
