Correct Answer: 14.1% gain
Solution : Here cost price is denoted by CP, and the selling price is denoted by SP. Let his good contains 1 kg. Its actual weight is 22% of 1000 g = 780 g Let the CP of each gm be Re. 1. Then CP of 780 gm = Rs. 780 With 11% loss, SP = 89% of CP of 1 kg ⇒ SP = $\frac{89}{100}$ × 1000 = Rs. 890 Profit = 890 − 780 = Rs. 110 Profit % =$\frac{110}{780}$ × 100 = 14.1% Hence, the correct answer is a 14.1% gain.
