Some articles were bought at 6 articles for Rs. 5 and sold at 5 articles for Rs. 6. Gain percent is:

A. 30%
B. 100/3%
C. 35%
D. 44%

• Some articles were bought at 6 articles for Rs. 5
  and sold at 5 articles for Rs. 6.
  6 articles are sold for Rs 6*6/5= Rs 36/5
  profit on Rs 5 = 36/5 -5 = Rs. 11/5
  
  % profit = 100*(11/5)/5 = 100*11/25 = 44%

• D.44%
  c.p for 1 article=5/6

• this type of questions you can take the l.c.m of articles that means 6,5=30
  assume cp of 30 articles is now becomes 5/6*30=25
  sp of 30 article is now becomes 6/5*30=36
  gain =11
  gain percent=11/25*100=44
  answer is D

• c.p of 1 article = 5/6
  s.p of 1 article = 6/5
  
  gain = s.p - c.p
  = 6/5 - 5/6
  = 11/30
  Gain Percent = (gain/c.p)* 100
  = (11/30)/(5/6) * 100
  = 44%
