Back to paper

A dishonest shopkeeper professes to sell his goods at cost price, but he uses a weight of 900 g for the kg weight. Find the gain percentage.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 11.11%.

Cost Price (CP) per kg = ₹100
CP for 900 g = 9001000×100=₹90\frac{900}{1000} \times 100 = ₹90

Gain = SP − CP = ₹100 − ₹90 = ₹10

Gain % =(1090)×100=11.11% \left( \frac{10}{90} \right) \times 100 = 11.11\%
