    Question

    In selling 33 m cloth, Rani's profit is equal to the selling price of 11 m cloth, then what is her gain percent?

    A.

    20% gain

    B.

    50% gain

    C.

    60% gain

    D.

    30% gain

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    Let the selling price (SP) of 1 meter of cloth be x .
    Rani sells 33 meters of cloth and her profit is equal to the selling price of 11 meters of cloth.

    Solution:

    Selling Price (SP) of 33 meters of cloth = 33x
    Profit = Selling Price of 11 meters of cloth = 11x
    Now, let the Cost Price (CP) of 33 meters of cloth be y .
    Since Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price, we have:
    11x = 33x - y

    y = 33x - 11x = 22x
    Thus, the Cost Price of 33 meters of cloth is 22x .
    Now, we calculate the Gain Percent using the formula:
    Gain Percent = ProfitCost Price×100\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost Price}} \times 100

    ​​
    Gain Percent = 11x22x×100=50%\frac{11x}{22x} \times 100 = 50\%​​
    Rani's gain percent is 50%.
