A dealer purchases 15 articles for Rs. 25 and sells 12 articles for Rs. 30. Find the profit percentage?

A. 25%
B. 50%
C. 20%
D. 5%
E. None of these

Explanation:

L.C.M of 15 and 12 = 60

CP of 60 articles = Rs. 100 (25 * 4)
SP of 60 articles = Rs. 150 (30 * 5)
Profit percentage = (150 – 100)/100 * 100 = 50%
