Question

Lalit buys wheat at Rs. 20/kg and puts a price tag on it so as to earn a profit of 30%. However, his faulty balance shows 1000 gm when it is actually 600 gm. What is his actual approximate gain percentage?

A 117% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B 122% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C 105% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D 110% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

C.P of 1000 gm = Rs. 20 M.P of 1000 gm = Rs. 26 S.P of 600 gm = Rs. 26( because his balance shows 600 gm when it is actually 1000 gm ) C.P of 600 gm =`20/1000` × 600 = Rs. 12 ( because C.P of 1000 gm is Rs. 20 ) Profit = `14/12` × 100 = 116.66%
