    Question

    A trader sells pulses at a 32% profit and uses weights

    20% less than the actual measure. Find his gain percentage.
    A 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 65% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 45% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

      In both cases, he is earning profit.   1st case, Profit% = 32%   2nd case, 20% less than actual measure so Profit% = 20%   (S.P/C. P) = (132/100) × (100/80) = 33/20 SO, S.P = 33x and C.P = 20x   Profit = (33x - 20x) = 13x Overall Profit% = (13x)/(20x) x 100 = 65%.
