SOLUTION

TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT OPTION

Oranges are bought at the rate of 11 oranges for 210 and sold at the rate of 10 oranges for 211. The gain/loss percent is

(A) 21% loss

(B) 11% gain

(C) 21% gain

(D) 11% loss

EVALUATION

Here it is given that Oranges are bought at the rate of 11 oranges for 210

Cost price of 1 orange = Rs 210/11

Again sold at the rate of 10 oranges for 211

Selling price of 1 orange = Rs 211/10

Since selling price > Cost price

So there is gain

Gain amount per orange

= Rs 211/10 - Rs 210/11

= Rs 221/110

Hence the required gain percentage

$\displaystyle \sf = \frac{ \frac{221}{110} }{ \frac{210}{11} }\times 100\%$

$\displaystyle \sf = \frac{221}{110} \times { \frac{11}{210} }\times 100\%$

$\displaystyle \sf = 11\%$

FINAL ANSWER

Hence the correct option is (B) 11% gain
