The correct Answer is:
To find Rajan's gain percentage, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Cost Price (CP) and Selling Price (SP) - **Cost Price (CP)**: The price at which Rajan bought the toy is Rs. 75. - **Selling Price (SP)**: The price at which Rajan sold the toy is Rs. 100. ### Step 2: Calculate the Gain - **Gain** is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Gain} = \text{SP} - \text{CP} \] - Substituting the values: \[ \text{Gain} = 100 - 75 = 25 \] - Therefore, Rajan's gain is Rs. 25. ### Step 3: Calculate the Gain Percentage - The formula for Gain Percentage is: \[ \text{Gain Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Gain}}{\text{CP}} \right) \times 100 \] - Substituting the values: \[ \text{Gain Percentage} = \left( \frac{25}{75} \right) \times 100 \] - Simplifying the fraction: \[ \text{Gain Percentage} = \left( \frac{1}{3} \right) \times 100 \approx 33.33\% \] ### Final Answer: Rajan's gain percentage is **33.33%**. ---
