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. |

Cp of 1 article is 5/6.
So of 1 article is 6/5.
So profit is 6/5--5/6.
Profit percent is profit /cp*100.
6/5--5/6by 5/6 *100.

Simple trick.
6 5
5 6
Cross multiplication.
5*5=25 cp,
6*6=36 sp,
Sp-cp=gain.
36_25=11,
%profit=11*100/25=44%.

CP = 5/6.
SP = 6/5.
Profit = 6/5-5/6 = 11/30.
Profit% = (profit/cp)*100%.
Profit% = (11/30/5/6)*100.
Profit% = 44%.
SP = 6/5.
Profit = 6/5-5/6 = 11/30.
Profit% = (profit/cp)*100%.
Profit% = (11/30/5/6)*100.
Profit% = 44%.

CP of 1 article : 5/6 = 0.83.
SP of 1 article:6/5 = 1.2 and profit = 1.2 - 0.83 = 0.37.
Gain% = (0.37 * 100)/0.83 = 44.
SP of 1 article:6/5 = 1.2 and profit = 1.2 - 0.83 = 0.37.
Gain% = (0.37 * 100)/0.83 = 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%.

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.

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.

Profit will be 11/30.
So, percentage profit= 11/30 * 100/6/5.
Then 11/30 * 100 * 5/6.
Then, you will get 44.
So, percentage profit= 11/30 * 100/6/5.
Then 11/30 * 100 * 5/6.
Then, you will get 44.

Cp of 1 article is 5/6 and sp of 1 article is 6/5.
Gain=6/5 - 5/6 = 11/30,
Gain%= 11/30 * 6/5 * 100 = 44%.
Gain=6/5 - 5/6 = 11/30,
Gain%= 11/30 * 6/5 * 100 = 44%.

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%.
