Option 2: 60% loss

Option 3: 30% loss

Option 4: 90% gain

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 50% gain


Solution : The cost price of 27 articles is the same as the selling price of 18 articles.

The selling price of 18 articles = the cost price of 27 articles = Rs. 27 
Profit on selling 18 articles = 27 – 18 = Rs. 9
Gain % = $\frac{9}{18}\times 100$ = 50%
Hence, the correct answer is a 50% gain.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "I love him because he is a good man at heart".
