If the discount of 10% is given on the marked price of a radio, the gain is 20%. If the discount is increased to 20%, the gain per cent is :

a

5%5 \%

b

614%6 \frac{1}{4} \%

c

623%6 \frac{2}{3} \%

d

758%7 \frac{5}{8} \%

Answer : Option C
Explanation :
Let the C.P. of article be Rs. 100 and the marked price be Rs. x. Case I x×90100=120\frac{x \times 90}{100}=120 x=120×10090=\Rightarrow x=\frac{120 \times 100}{90}= Rs. 4003\frac{400}{3} Case II S.P. =x×80100==\frac{x \times 80}{100}= Rs. 4x5\frac{4 x}{5} == Rs. (45×4003)=\left(\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{400}{3}\right)= Rs. 3203\frac{320}{3} \therefore \quad Profit =Rs.(3203100)=\operatorname{Rs} .\left(\frac{320}{3}-100\right) =Rs.(3203003)==\operatorname{Rs} .\left(\frac{320-300}{3}\right)= Rs. 203\frac{20}{3} \therefore Profit percent =203%=623%=\frac{20}{3} \%=6 \frac{2}{3} \% Alternative: Fraction of 10%=10100=11010 \%=\frac{10}{100}=\frac{1}{10} Fraction of 20%=20100=1520 \%=\frac{20}{100}=\frac{1}{5} According to the question,

Now required gain %=115×100\%=\frac{1}{15} \times 100

=203=623%=\frac{20}{3}=6 \frac{2}{3} \%
