Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- CP of one pencils $ =Rs.,\frac{1}{5} $ and SP of one pencil $ =Rs.\frac{1}{3} $
$ \therefore $ Gain $ =\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{5-3}{15}=Rs.\frac{2}{15} $
$ \therefore $ Gain percentage $ =\frac{\frac{2}{15}\times 100}{\frac{1}{5}}=\frac{200}{3}=66\frac{2}{3} $ %
