    Question

    A trader sells pulses at a 28% profit and uses weights

    20% less than the actual measure. Find his gain percentage.
    A 45% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 40% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 60% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

      In both cases, he is earning profit.   1st case, Profit% = 28%   2nd case, 20% less than actual measure so Profit% = 20%   (S.P/C. P) = (128/100) × (100/80) = 32/20 SO, S.P = 32x and C.P = 20x   Profit = (32x - 20x) = 12x Overall Profit% = (12x)/(20x) x 100 = 60%.
