  1. By selling an articles for Rs. 144, a man loses 1 / 7 of his outlay. By selling it for Rs. 168, his gain or loss percent is ?
    1. 20% loss
    2. 20% gain
    3. 41/ 6 % gain
    4. None of the these
Correct Option: D

Let C.P. = Rs. P
S.P. = (C.P.) - (Loos) = P - P/7 = Rs. 6P/7
∵ 6P / 7 = 144
∴ P = (144 x 7) / 6 = Rs. 168
Hence, no Loss and no gain.
