    Mohit sold a T.V. for Rs. 3,600; gaining one-sixth of its selling price. Find : (i) the gain (ii) the cost price of the T.V. (iii) the gain percent. (i) the gain (ii) the cost price of the T.V. (iii) the gain percent.
    Ans : S.P. of T.V. = Rs. 3,600
    Gain = 1/6 of (3600) = 1/6 × 3600
    = Rs. 600 (i) Thus gain = Rs. 600 (ii) Cost Price = 3600 - 600
    = Rs. 3000 (iii) Gain % = 600/3000 × 100
    = 60/3
    = 20% (i) Thus gain = Rs. 600 (ii) Cost Price = 3600 - 600
    = Rs. 3000 (iii) Gain % = 600/3000 × 100
    = 60/3
    = 20%
  • #6-i
    the gain
    Ans : Thus gain = Rs. 600
  • #6-ii

    Ans : Cost Price = 3600 - 600
    = Rs. 3000
  • #6-iii
    the gain percent.
    Ans : Gain % = 600/3000 × 100
    = 60/3
