उत्तर

Let cost price of one article be C.P

Given that 2 are bought for ₹ 15

∴ 2 × C.P = 15

∴ C.P = `15/2`

Let selling price of one article be S.P

Given that 3 are sold for ₹ 25

∴ 3 × S.P = 25

⇒ S.P = `25/3`

 ∴ Gain = S.P – C.P

= `25/3 - 15/2`

= `(50 - 45)/6`

= `5/6`

Gain % = `"Gain"/"C.P" xx 100`

= `(5/6)/(15/2) xx 100`

= `5/6 xx 2/15 xx 100`

= `100/9`

= `11 1/9`
