    The printed price of an article is Rs. 900 but the retailer gets a discount of 40%. He sells the article for Rs. 900. Retailer's gain per cent is

    A) 40%                             

    B) 60%

    C) \[66\frac{2}{3}%\]        

    D) \[68\frac{1}{3}%\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Printed price \[=Rs.\,900\] On 40% discount             \[=900-\frac{900\times 40}{100}=900-360\]             \[\text{CP}\,\,\text{=}\,\,\text{Rs}\text{.}\,\text{540}\]             \[\text{SP}\,\text{=}\,\text{900}-540=Rs.\,360\] Gain per cent \[=\frac{360\times 100}{540}\]             \[=\frac{20}{3}=66\frac{2}{3}%\]
