Cost Price
2 eggs for 1 Re.
1 egg = 1/2 Rs.
3 eggs for 2 Rs.
1 egg = 2/3 Re.
Selling price
5 eggs for Rs.3
1 egg = 3/5 Rs.
Total C.P (2 eggs) = 1/2 + 2/3 = 7/6
Total S.P(2 eggs) = 2*3/5 = 6/5
Gain = 6/5 - 7/6 = 36-35/30 = 1/30
Gain % = Gain/C.P * 100 = 1/30/(7/6) * 100 = 1*6/7*30 *100 = 100/7*5 = 20/7 = 2(6/7)% gain.
