The cost price of 24 apples is the same as the selling price of 18 apples. The percentage of gain is :
-
-
12 1 % 2 -
14 2 % 3 -
16 2 % 3 -
33 1 % 3

Correct Option: D
Let the CP of 1 apple = $.1
∴ CP of 18 apples = $ 18
SP of 18 apples = $ 24
Gain = SP of 18 apples - CP of 18 apples = 24 - 18 = $ 6
| ∴ Gain percent = | × 100 | CP of 18 apples |
| Gain percent = | × 100 | 18 |
| Gain percent = | = 33 | % | 3 | 3 |
Second method to solve this question :
Here, p = 24, q = 18
| Gain % = |  |  | × 100 | ||
| q |
| Gain % = | | | × 100 | ||
| 18 |
| Gain % = | × 100 = 33 | % | 18 | 3 |
