The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the profit percentages for both Quantity I and Quantity II and then compare them. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Quantity I:** 1. **Determine the Cost Price (CP) and Selling Price (SP):** - Articles are bought at 6 articles for Rs. 5. - Therefore, the Cost Price (CP) for 6 articles = Rs. 5. - The Cost Price (CP) for 1 article = \( \frac{5}{6} \) Rs. 2. **Calculate the Selling Price (SP):** - Articles are sold at 5 articles for Rs. 6. - Therefore, the Selling Price (SP) for 5 articles = Rs. 6. - The Selling Price (SP) for 1 article = \( \frac{6}{5} \) Rs. 3. **Calculate Profit:** - Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price - Profit = \( \frac{6}{5} - \frac{5}{6} \) 4. **Finding a common denominator to calculate profit:** - The common denominator of 5 and 6 is 30. - Convert both fractions: - \( \frac{6}{5} = \frac{36}{30} \) - \( \frac{5}{6} = \frac{25}{30} \) - Therefore, Profit = \( \frac{36}{30} - \frac{25}{30} = \frac{11}{30} \) 5. **Calculate Profit Percentage:** - Profit Percentage = \( \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{CP}} \times 100 \) - Profit Percentage = \( \frac{\frac{11}{30}}{\frac{5}{6}} \times 100 \) - Simplifying this: - \( = \frac{11}{30} \times \frac{6}{5} \times 100 \) - \( = \frac{66}{150} \times 100 \) - \( = \frac{6600}{150} = 44\% \) **Quantity II:** 1. **Determine the Cost Price (CP) and Selling Price (SP):** - 100 toys are bought at Rs. 350. - Therefore, the Cost Price (CP) for 100 toys = Rs. 350. - The Cost Price (CP) for 1 toy = \( \frac{350}{100} = 3.5 \) Rs. 2. **Calculate the Selling Price (SP):** - Toys are sold at Rs. 48 per dozen (12 toys). - Therefore, the Selling Price (SP) for 12 toys = Rs. 48. - The Selling Price (SP) for 1 toy = \( \frac{48}{12} = 4 \) Rs. 3. **Calculate Profit:** - Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price - Profit = \( 4 - 3.5 = 0.5 \) Rs. 4. **Calculate Profit Percentage:** - Profit Percentage = \( \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{CP}} \times 100 \) - Profit Percentage = \( \frac{0.5}{3.5} \times 100 \) - Simplifying this: - \( = \frac{5}{35} \times 100 = \frac{100}{7} \approx 14.2857\% \) or \( 14 \frac{2}{7}\% \) ### Conclusion: - Quantity I Profit Percentage = 44% - Quantity II Profit Percentage = \( 14 \frac{2}{7}\% \) **Comparison:** Since \( 44\% > 14 \frac{2}{7}\% \), we conclude that Quantity I is greater than Quantity II. ### Final Answer: **Quantity I is greater than Quantity II.**

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the profit percentages for both Quantity I and Quantity II and then compare them. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Quantity I:** 1. **Determine the Cost Price (CP) and Selling Price (SP):** - Articles are bought at 6 articles for Rs. 5. - Therefore, the Cost Price (CP) for 6 articles = Rs. 5. ...
