Q. Toffees are bought at the rate of 8 for a rupee. To gain 60% they must be sold at ?

(A) 6 for a rupee
(B) 5 for a rupee
(C) 9 for Rs. 2
(D) 24 for Rs. 5

Correct Answer - Option(B)

Explanation by: Mr. Dubey

Suppose he buys 8 toffees
Then, C.P. = Re. 1
Gain = 60%
∴ S.P. = Rs. (160 / 100 x 1) = Rs. 8 / 5
For Rs. 8 / 5, toffees sold = 8
For Re. 1 toffees sold = (8 x 5) / 8 = 5
So, he must sell them at 5 for a rupee
