Cost price of one article= 5/6= .83.
Selling price of one article= 6/5= 1.2.
Gain %=( 1.2 - .83/.83) 100 = 44.
Selling price of one article= 6/5= 1.2.
Gain %=( 1.2 - .83/.83) 100 = 44.

Cp of 5 articles is 25.
Sp of 5 articles is 30.
Gain is equal to 30-25 = 5.
Gain % = 5 * 100/25 = 20.
Please explain.
Sp of 5 articles is 30.
Gain is equal to 30-25 = 5.
Gain % = 5 * 100/25 = 20.
Please explain.

By calculating the CP and SP for one article. Profit is 11/30 hence 44% is correct answer.

While purchasing;
1 article =5/6 rs,
While selling,
1 article =6/5 rs.
So therefore for 5 articles:
SP = 6rs.
CP= 5/6*5 = 25/6,
Therefore profit = 6-25/6 = 11/6.
%P=(11/6)/CP*100 = 44%.
1 article =5/6 rs,
While selling,
1 article =6/5 rs.
So therefore for 5 articles:
SP = 6rs.
CP= 5/6*5 = 25/6,
Therefore profit = 6-25/6 = 11/6.
%P=(11/6)/CP*100 = 44%.

Cp 6>5rupees.
Cp 1>5/6 rupees.
Sp 5 >6 rupees.
Sp 1>6/5 rupees.
Profit = SP-CP.
Profit = 11/30.
Profit% = (profit/cp)*100.
Profit% = 44%.
Cp 1>5/6 rupees.
Sp 5 >6 rupees.
Sp 1>6/5 rupees.
Profit = SP-CP.
Profit = 11/30.
Profit% = (profit/cp)*100.
Profit% = 44%.

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%.
