father sell the watch?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

After selling two articles a person gains the cost price of three articles.

According to the question

2 × SP – 2 × CP = 3 × CP

⇒ 2 × SP = 3CP + 2CP

2SP = 5CP

SP : CP = 5 : 2

Suppose CP = 2 unit

SP = 5 unit

∴ Profit percentage = [(5 – 2)/2] × 100 = 150%
