(SP of 33m) - (CP of 33m)

= Gain = SP of 11m

∴ SP of 22m = CP of 33m

Let CP of each meter be Re 1. Then, CP of 22m

= Re 22.
Hence SP of 22m = Re 33.
∴ %Gain = 11/22 * 100 = 50%

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that by selling 33 meters of cloth, one gains the selling price of 11 meters. Profit on 33 meter is equal to the selling price of 11 meters.

P\times 33=SP\times 11

\frac{P}{SP}=\frac{11}{33}=\frac{1}{3}

It means the ratio of profit and selling price is 1:3. Let the profit be x and selling price is 3x.

CP=SP-P

CP=3x-x=2x

Profit=\frac{Profit}{CP}\times 100

Profit=\frac{x}{2x}\times 100

Profit=50

The gain percent is 50%. Therefore the correct option is A.
