Some articles were bought at 6 articles for Rs. 5 and sold at 5 articles for Rs. 6. Gain percent is:

30%

33 $\frac{1}{3}$ %

35%

44%

Answer : Option D

Explanation :

Suppose, number of articles bought = L.C.M. of 6 and 5 = 30.

C.P. of 30 articles = Rs [	$\frac { 5} { 6 }$		x 30]		= Rs. 25.

S.P. of 30 articles = Rs.			$\frac { 6 } { 5 }$ x 30		= Rs. 36.

Gain % =			$\frac { 11 } { 25 }$ x 100	%=44%.
