A person sells a packet on the cost price by using a faulty weight 10% less than the actual measure. What is his gain percentage?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e.1119\frac{1}{9}%

Let the cost price of a packet be 1000 Rs per 1000 gm

But he using faulty weight 10% less than the actual measure means 900 gm

He sells this packet on cost price by using 10 % false weight = 1000 Rs per 900 gm

His gain percentage = ([1000 - 900)/900] × 100

= 100/9 = 1119\frac{1}{9}%
