    A retailer gets a discount of 40% on the printing price of an article. The retailer sells it at the printing price. His gain per cent is

    A)  40%                            

    B)  55%

    C)  \[66\frac{2}{3}%\]            

    D)         75%

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let the printing price = Rs \[x\] \[\therefore \] CP for the retailer \[=\frac{60x}{100}=\text{Rs}\,\frac{3x}{5}\] On selling at printing rate, the profit \[=\left( x-\frac{3x}{5} \right)\] \[=\text{Rs}\,\frac{2x}{5}\] Profit per cent \[=\frac{2x/5}{3x/5}\times 100%=\frac{100%}{3}=66\frac{2}{3}%\]
