By selling an article, a man makes a profit of 25% of its selling price. His profit per cent is:
[A]$latex 16\frac{2}{3}\%&s=1$
[B]$latex 20$
[C]$latex 33\frac{1}{3}\%&s=1$
[D]$latex 25$
$latex \mathbf{33\frac{1}{3}\%}&s=1$
If the SP of article be x,
then its CP $latex = x – \frac{x}{4} = \frac{3x}{4}Rs.&s=1$
$latex \therefore Gain \% = \frac{\frac{x}{4}}{\frac{3x}{4}}\times 100&s=1$
$latex = \frac{100}{3} = 33\frac{1}{3}\%&s=1$
Hence option [C] is the right answer.
