Calculation of Gain or Loss Percent
To calculate the gain or loss percent, the formula used is:
Gain or Loss percent = (Profit or Loss / Cost price) x 100
Given, Mohit bought a CD for Rs. 750 and sold it for Rs. 875.
Profit earned by Mohit = Selling price - Cost price
Profit earned by Mohit = Rs. 875 - Rs. 750 = Rs. 125
Now, substituting the values in the formula, we get:
Gain percent = (Profit / Cost price) x 100
Gain percent = (125 / 750) x 100
Gain percent = 16.67%
Therefore, the gain percent earned by Mohit is 16.67%. However, this answer is not given in the options.
Finding the Correct Option
To find the correct option, we need to convert the gain percent to a fraction and simplify it.
Gain percent = 16.67%
Gain fraction = 16.67 / 100
Gain fraction = 1 / 6
Now, we need to simplify the fraction to see if it matches any of the options.
1 / 6 = 50 / 300 = 50 / 3 x 100 / 100
Therefore, the gain percent can be written as 50/3%.
Hence, the correct option is (D) Gain of (50/3)%.
