Arun bought toffees at 6 for a rupee. How many for a rupee he should sell to gain 20%?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. 5
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
CP for one toffee = $$\frac{{100}}{6}$$SP will be 20% above the CP.
So,
SP for one toffee = $$\frac{{100}}{6} \times 1.2 = \frac{{100}}{5} = 20$$
Thus, He should sell 5 toffee for Rs. 1 (100 paise)
