    By selling an article for Rs. 4,824, a man gains 20%. What will be his profit percentage (rounded off to the nearest integer) if he sells it for Rs. 6
    Question

    By selling an article for Rs. 4,824, a man gains 20%. What will be his profit percentage (rounded off to the nearest integer) if he sells it for Rs. 6,000?

    A.

    49%

    B.

    53%

    C.

    40%

    D.

    32%

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Selling price for 20% profit = Rs. 4,824
    Profit percentage = 20%
    Formula Used:
    Profit=Selling PriceCost PriceSelling Price=Cost Price×(1+Profit Percentage100)\text{Profit} = \text{Selling Price} - \text{Cost Price} \\\text{Selling Price} = \text{Cost Price} \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{Profit Percentage}}{100}\right)​​
    Solution:
    Let the cost price be C.
    For a 20% profit, the selling price is given by:
    4,824=C×(1+20100)4,824=C×1.2C=4,8241.2=4,0204,824 = C \times \left( 1 + \frac{20}{100} \right) \\4,824 = C \times 1.2 \\C = \frac{4,824}{1.2} = 4,020​​
    Thus, the cost price of the article is Rs. 4,020.
    Now, if the article is sold for Rs. 6,000, the new profit is:
    New Profit = 6,000 - 4,020 = 1,980
    Profit Percentage=ProfitCost Price×100Profit Percentage=1,9804,020×10049.25%\text{Profit Percentage} = \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost Price}} \times 100 \\\text{Profit Percentage} = \frac{1,980}{4,020} \times 100 \approx 49.25\%​​
    Thus, the profit percentage (rounded off to the nearest integer) is 49%.
