    A dishonest fruit seller professes to sell his goods at the cost price but weighs 800 grams for a kg weight. Find his gain percent.

    A)  \[100%\]                    

    B)  \[150%\]                    

    C)  \[50%\]               

    D)         \[200%\]                    

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    He gives 800 grams but charges the price of 1000 grams (1kg) \[\Rightarrow \] on every 800 grams, he gains \[(1000-800)\] grams i.e. \[\therefore \]  His gain % \[=\frac{200}{800}\times 100=25%\] Short cut: Gain \[%=\frac{error}{true\,\,weight\,-error}\]             \[=\frac{200}{(1000-200)}\times 100=25%\]
