Tick (✓) the correct answer:
Oranges are bought at 5 for Rs 10 and sold at 6 for Rs 15. His gain per cent is
(a) 50%
(b) 40%
(c) 35%
(d) 25%
(d) 25%
L. C.M of 5 and $6=(5 \times 1 \times 6)=30$
Let 30 be the number of oranges bought.
$\mathrm{CP}$ of 5 oranges $=\mathrm{Rs} 10$
CP of 1 oranges $=$ Rs $\left(\frac{10}{5}\right)$
= Rs 2
$\therefore \mathrm{CP}$ of 30 oranges $=\mathrm{Rs}(2 \times 30)$
= Rs 60
SP of 6 oranges $=$ Rs 15
SP of 1 oranges $=\operatorname{Rs}\left(\frac{15}{6}\right)$
$\therefore \mathrm{SP}$ of 30 oranges $=\mathrm{Rs}\left(\frac{15}{6} \times 30\right)$
= Rs 75
Now, gain $=\mathrm{Rs}(75-60)$
= Rs 15
$\therefore$ Gain percentage $=\left(\frac{\text { gain }}{\mathrm{CP}} \times 100\right) \%$
$=\left(\frac{15}{60} \times 100\right) \%$
= 25%
