4. A merchant of clothes purchases the cloth with a gauge of 120 cm instead of 100cm. and sells it with a gauge of 80 cm with a discount of 20% . then total gain will be....

• The answer is 20%
  
  consider he gets 120 cm for the price of 100
  
  but sells 80 cm for the price of 100 and then offers a discount of 20%
  
  so he sells 80 cm for the price of 80
  
  selling price of 80 cm = 80
  cost price of 80 cm =(80/120)*100=(200/3)
  Gain% = ((S.P-C.P)/C.P)*100 = 20%

• c.p of 100 cm=80*100 /120=200/3
  nw s.p of 80 item with 20 per discount =80
  profit=(s.p-c.p)/c.p*100=20%
