C.P= 6articles:5;.
S.P= 5articles:6;.
C.P= 6*5/6:5*5/6;.
S.P= 5:6.
C.P=5:25/6.
S.P=5:6.
Profit=S.P- C.P;
=6-25/6;.
Profit=11/6;.
Profit%=profit/C.P*100;.
44%.
S.P= 5articles:6;.
C.P= 6*5/6:5*5/6;.
S.P= 5:6.
C.P=5:25/6.
S.P=5:6.
Profit=S.P- C.P;
=6-25/6;.
Profit=11/6;.
Profit%=profit/C.P*100;.
44%.

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%

SIMPLY WE CAN OBSERVE FROM SUM IS,
CP=5/6 AND SP=6/5.
WE HAVE FORMULA FOR GAIN PERCENTAGE = ((CP-SP)/CP)*100.
FINALLY WE COME OUT AN ANSWER OF 44%.
CP=5/6 AND SP=6/5.

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%.

Simpler Method :
6 articles------> 5 Rs
CP of 1 = 5/6
5articles------->6 Rs
SP of 1 = 6/5
%P = SP - CP/CP * 100
Ans----> 44%.
6 articles------> 5 Rs
CP of 1 = 5/6
5articles------->6 Rs
SP of 1 = 6/5
%P = SP - CP/CP * 100
Ans----> 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.

C.P of 6 article = Rs. 5.
S.P of 5 article = Rs. 6.
S.P of 6 article = 6x6/5.
Profit= S.P - C.P = 11/25.
Profit% = 11/25 x 100 = 44%.
S.P of 5 article = Rs. 6.
S.P of 6 article = 6x6/5.
Profit= S.P - C.P = 11/25.
Profit% = 11/25 x 100 = 44%.
