Divya Batra  (6 years ago)

answer is 44 % gain
explanation:-
given:
CP of 6 articles=Rs .5
SP of 5 articles=Rs. 6

therefore, CP of 5 articles=(5/6)*5=25/6 (just to make equal articles both side 5 for SP and CP)

CP of 1 article=5/6
SP of 1 article=6/5

therefore
gain%=(gain/CP) * 100%
but, gain=SP-CP=6/5-5/6=11/30

and , gain/CP=(11/30) * (6/5)=11/25
thereore, gain%=(11/25) * 100%=44%
