c.p of 1 article = 5/6
s.p of 1 article = 6/5
gain = s.p - c.p
= 6/5 - 5/6
= 11/30
gain% = (gain/c.p)* 100
= (11/30)/(5/6) * 100
= 44%
s.p of 1 article = 6/5
gain = s.p - c.p
= 6/5 - 5/6
= 11/30
gain% = (gain/c.p)* 100
= (11/30)/(5/6) * 100
= 44%

5/6*30 divide into 6 we get 25.then 6+5 we get 11.
How much articles bought this is done by l.c.m.
So 6&5 multiply it we get 30.

Why should we take 30 articles. And how you get the 25. And why we take L. C. M 5 and 6?

Use Unitary method
C.P of 1 article= Rs(5/6)= .833
S.P of 1 article= Rs(6/5)= 1.2
Profit= 1.2-.833= .367
%Gain= ( Profit /CP) *100.
= (.367/.833)*100
= .44*100 = 44%
C.P of 1 article= Rs(5/6)= .833
S.P of 1 article= Rs(6/5)= 1.2
Profit= 1.2-.833= .367
%Gain= ( Profit /CP) *100.
= (.367/.833)*100
= .44*100 = 44%
