    Question

    A trader sells pulses at a 28% profit and uses weights

    20% less than the actual measure. Find his gain percentage.
    A 45% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 40% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 60% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ┬а In both cases, he is earning profit. ┬а 1st case, Profit% = 28% ┬а 2nd case, 20% less than actual measure so Profit% = 20% ┬а (S.P/C. P) = (128/100) ├Ч (100/80) = 32/20 SO, S.P = 32x and C.P = 20x ┬а Profit = (32x - 20x) = 12x Overall Profit% = (12x)/(20x) x 100 = 60%.
