    If S.P. of an article is \[\frac{4}{3}\] of its C.P., then the profit % in the transaction is _____.

    A)  \[\frac{1}{3}%\]                               

    B)  \[20\frac{1}{2}%\]   

    C)  \[33\frac{1}{3}%\]   

    D)         \[25\frac{1}{2}%\]   

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let C.P. of an article be Rs. \[x\] \[\therefore S.P.\] of the article \[=Rs.\left( \frac{4}{3}x \right)\] Profit \[=S.P.-C.P=Rs.\left( \frac{4}{3}x-x \right)=Rs.\left( \frac{1}{3}x \right)\] \[\therefore \text{Profit }\!\!%\!\!\text{ =}\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{C}\text{.P}}\times 100=\frac{\frac{1}{3}x}{x}\times 100=33\frac{1}{3}%\]
