    By selling 12 articles for Rs.  100, a man losses 20%. How many articles for Rs. 100 should he sell to gain 20%?

    A) 4

    B)  5      

    C)  6

    D)  8

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Cost price of 12 articles \[\frac{19x}{20}\times \frac{120}{100}=\frac{11x}{10}+80\]= Rs. 125
    Selling price for gain \[20%=\frac{125\times 120}{100}\]= Rs. 150
    Selling price of one article \[=\frac{150}{12}\]= Rs. 12.5
    Number of articles to be sold in Rs.
    \[100=\frac{100}{12.5}=8\]
