A dishonest fruit seller sells fruits at 8 % loss. If he uses 860gm weight in place of 1kg weight, then what is his profit percent?

A 7 % Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 33 1/3 % Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 12 1/4 % Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 4 8/23 % Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

CP of 1000gm = Rs 100 SP of 860gm = Rs 100 – Loss = 100 – 8 = Rs 92 (as 8% on 100 = Rs 8) Actual CP = 86 Profit % = `(92-86)/86` × 100 =`6.7 = 7 %`
