Option D is correct

 

Gain = 25%

 

Solution:

Let the C.P of 1 articles = ₹1

C.P of 8 articles = ₹8

S.P of 8 articles = C.P of 10 articles

[Given]

S.P of 8 articles = ₹10

s.p > cp

Gain= s.p - c.p

Gain= 10- 8= ₹ 2

Gain = ₹ 2

Gain% =( gain /c.p) ×100

Gain = (2/8) ×100

Gain=  (1× 100) / 4= 100/ 4= 25%

Gain= 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

if cost price of 10 articles = x

than selling price of 8 articles = x

so selling price of 10 articles = x/8×10

gain = x/8×10-x

gain % = {(x/8)×10×100}/x = 25%
