  • question_answer
    An article is sold at a certain price. By selling it at \[\frac{2}{3}\] of that price, one loses 10%. Find the gain percent at the original price.

    A) \[15%\]                         

    B)  \[25%\]

    C)  \[35%\]                        

    D)  \[45%\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let the SP= Rs.270 \[\frac{2}{3}\times SP=\frac{2}{3}\times 270=Rs.180\] Loss \[=10%\,\,\,\therefore \,\,\,CP=180\times \frac{100}{90}=200\] \[\therefore \]  If he sells at original price, then, \[CP=200\text{ }\Rightarrow \text{ }SP=270\] Profit \[=\frac{70}{200}\times 100=\,\underline{\mathbf{35%}}\]
