A dishonest shopkeeper promises

A dishonest shopkeeper promises to sell his goods at cost price. However, he uses a weight that actually weighs 26% less than what is written on it. Find his profit percentage.
एक बेईमान दुकानदार अपने समान को क्रय मूल्य पर बेचने का दावा करता है। हालाँकि, वह एक ऐसे बाट का उपयोग करता है जिसका वजन वास्तव में उस पर लिखे वजन से 26% कम है। उसका लाभ प्रतिशत ज्ञात कीजिए।

$37\frac{10}{37}$% $34\frac{5}{37}$% $35\frac{5}{37}$% $36\frac{6}{37}$%

Detailed Solution & Logic

Correct Answer:

$35\frac{5}{37}$%

Marked weight = 100 units
Actual weight = 100 − 26 = 74 units
Cost of 74 units = ₹74
Selling price = ₹100
Profit = 100 − 74 = 26
Profit % = $\frac{26}{74} \times 100 = \frac{2600}{74} = 35\frac{5}{37}%$
Answer = $35\frac{5}{37}$ %
