Q. By selling an article, a man makes a profit of 25% of its selling price. His profit per cent is:
Answer: $latex 33\frac{1}{3}\%&s=1$
Notes: 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.
