Choose the most appropriate option

A trader sells rice at a profit of 20% and uses weights which are 10% less than the correct weight. The total gain earned by him is:

पर्याय

  • `33 1/3%`

  • 35%

  • `22 2/9%`

  • 30%

MCQ

उत्तर

`33 1/3%`

Explanation:

Let us consider a packet of rice marked 1 kg.
its actual weight is 90% of 1000 gm = 900 gm

Let C.P. of each gm = ₹ 1

Then, C.P. of this packet = ₹ 900

S.P. of this packet = 120% of C.P. of 1 kg

`=120/100xx1000`

= 1200

∴ Gain%`=(300/900xx100)%=33 1/3%`
