Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • From statement I, From statement II, we can also find the answer. Let CP of 1 printer be Rs. 1.

$ \therefore $ CP of 6 printers is Rs. 6 and SP of 5 printers is Rs. 6.

$ \therefore Gain $ % $ =\frac{1}{5}\times 100=20 $ % $ \because $ $ CP=\frac{100}{120}\times 3000=Rs.2500 $

$ \therefore $ $ Gain=Rs.(3000-2500)=Rs.500 $
