Option 1: 100

Option 2: 140

Option 3: 125

Option 4: 135

Team Careers360 3rd Jan, 2024

Question : If the cost of 20 books is equal to the selling price of 18 books, then the gain percentage is:

Option 1: $11 \frac{1}{9}$%

Option 2: $11 \frac{1}{3}$%

Option 4: $10 \frac{1}{9}$%

Team Careers360 7th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $11 \frac{1}{9}$%


Solution : Given: 20 × cost price = 18 × selling price
⇒ Selling price = $\frac{20}{18}$ × cost price
So, the gain percentage = $\frac{\frac{20}{18} × \text{cost price} - \text{cost price}}{\text{cost price}}$×100
= $\frac{200}{18}$ = $11 \frac{1}{9}$%
Hence, the correct answer is $11 \frac{1}{9}$%.
