An article is sold at a certain price. By selling it at 2/3 of that price one loses 10%. The gain percent at original price is :

a. 20%
b. 33 1/3 %
c. 35%
d. 40%

• s.p1/1+%gain1=s.p2/1+%gain2 (for loss put -ve)
  ans=35%

• let the original S.P be RS =x , new S.P=2/3x , loss=10%
  C.P=(100/99)*2/3x = 20x/27
  C.P=20x/27 , S.P=x ,
  gain =(x- 20x/27x)=7x/27
  Gain %= (7x/27 * 27/20x * 100)% = 35%
  ans=35%

• marked price=x.... 2x/3 selling ....then original price=20x/27....... selling at x.gain=7x/27........then profit %=35

• Let the original S.P be Rs. X.
  Then new S.P = Rs. (2/3)X, Loss =10%
  So, C.P = Rs. [100/90 * (2/3)X ] = 20X/27.
  Now C.P = Rs. 20X/27, S.P =Rs. X.
  Gain = Rs. [ X -20X/27 ] =Rs.7X/27.
  Hence, Gain % = [ 7X/27 *27/20X *100 ]% = 35%.
