By selling 92 kg of wheat, a person gains the selling price of 12 kg of it. His gain percentage is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 15%.

According to the question

Gain = 12 S.P

92 S.P - 92 C.P = 12 S.P

80 S.P = 92 C.P

S.P/C.P = 23/20

Now, gain % = {(23 - 20) / 20 } * 100

= (3/20) * 100 = 15%
