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 |

@Simhachalam.
Profit% = profit/c.p * 100.
But c.p is 36?
Please explain about it.
Profit% = profit/c.p * 100.
But c.p is 36?
Please explain about it.

In simple way,
CP of 6 article = 5Rs.
CP of 1 article = 5/6Rs.
and,
SP of 5 article = 6Rs.
SP of 1 article = 6/5Rs.
profit = SP-CP.
= 6/5 - 5/6 == 11/30.
And profit% = (profit/CP)*100 = (11/30)/(5/6) * 100 = 44%.
CP of 6 article = 5Rs.
CP of 1 article = 5/6Rs.
and,
SP of 5 article = 6Rs.
SP of 1 article = 6/5Rs.
profit = SP-CP.
= 6/5 - 5/6 == 11/30.
And profit% = (profit/CP)*100 = (11/30)/(5/6) * 100 = 44%.

6 articles for Rs 5 & 5 articles for Rs 6.
6 5 -----(i)
5 6 -----(ii).
Make the equation crt,so we have to multiply (i) to 5,(ii) to 6
6*5 ----- 5*5.
5*6 ----- 6*6.
30 ----- 25
30 ----- 36.
So now cost price for 30 articles =Rs 25.
So now selling price for 30 articles =Rs 36.
Profit=36-25 = 11.
Profit%=profit/cp*100 =11/25*100 = 44%.
6 5 -----(i)
5 6 -----(ii).
Make the equation crt,so we have to multiply (i) to 5,(ii) to 6
6*5 ----- 5*5.
5*6 ----- 6*6.
30 ----- 25
30 ----- 36.
So now cost price for 30 articles =Rs 25.
So now selling price for 30 articles =Rs 36.
Profit=36-25 = 11.
Profit%=profit/cp*100 =11/25*100 = 44%.

Cp is 6 for 5rs.
Then 1 for 5/6.
Sp is 5 for 6.
The. 1 for 6/5.
Profit is 6/5 - 5/6.
That is 11/30 profit.
Profit % = 100*11/30 whole divide by cp 5/6.
Ans is 44%.
Then 1 for 5/6.
Sp is 5 for 6.
The. 1 for 6/5.
Profit is 6/5 - 5/6.
That is 11/30 profit.
Profit % = 100*11/30 whole divide by cp 5/6.
Ans is 44%.

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%.

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%.
