A reseller sells a sugar at the rate Rs.114 a kg and bears a loss of 5%. if he sells it at Rs.126 per kg, what is the percentage of gain?
[A] 5%
[C] 7%
[B] 6%
[D] 9%

• loss=c.p-s.p/c.p;
  =>0.05=1-(114/c.p)
  =>c.p=114*100/95;
  gain=s.p-c.p/c.p;
  =>gain=(126/(114*100/95))-1=105/100-1=0.05=5%

• 114:95::126:x
  x=(126*95)/114
  x=105
  105-100=5%

• cp*l%=sp
  cp*95%=114
  cp=120
  new sp=126
  p%=sp-cp/cp
  (6/120)*100=5%
