Question

1) A vendor bought oranges at 26 per dozen and sold them at 5 for 13. His
gain per cent, is
(a) 20%
(6) 30%
(c) 40%
(d) 50%
​

Answer 1

Cost Price---

12 oranges for 26

So 1 for 26/12 = 13/6

Selling Price ---

5 for 13

So 1 for 13/5

Hence SP > CP

Therefore profit...

Gain % = Gain / CP ×100

= 0.44 / 2.16 × 100

= 20.3 %

Nearly 20% is the answer Option (a)
