SSC CPO - 10 Nov 2022 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q119

Satish bought 35 notebooks for ₹700 and sold 28 of them for ₹600. Find his percentage gain.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 7171\over 7%

Given that

Satish bought 35 notebooks for ₹700

CP = 700/35 = 20 Rs per notebook

SP = 600/28 = 150/7 Rs per notebook

Hence Profit % = [(SP -CP)/ CP] *100 

= [(150/7 - 20) / 20] *100 = 100/14 =  7171\over 7%
