Answer 1

$\huge\mathfrak{\underline{\underline{\red{Answer:-}}}}$

Gain percent = Gain × 100 /Cost price

= 4.5 × 100 / 8

= 4.5 × 25 /2

= 4.5 × 12.5

=(2) 56.25 %

Answer 2

Answer:

HEY FRIEND,

I AM WRITING C.P OF ONE ARTICLE = ₹0.8

TOTAL C.P = 10×0.8 = ₹8

TOTAL S.P = 10×1.25 = ₹12.5

=>PROFIT = 12.5-8 = ₹4.5

=>PROFIT%=(PROFIT/C.P)×100

=(4.5/8)×100

=(45/8)×10

=(45/4)×5

=225/4

=56 1/4%

THEREFORE

OPTION (B) 56 1/4% IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

HOPE IT HELPS YOU.
