The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these calculations: ### Step 1: Calculate the Total Cost Price (CP) Vishal buys the bike for Rs. 4700 and spends Rs. 800 on repairs. Therefore, the total cost price (CP) is calculated as follows: \[ \text{Total CP} = \text{Cost of bike} + \text{Repair cost} = 4700 + 800 = 5500 \] ### Step 2: Identify the Selling Price (SP) Vishal sells the bike for Rs. 5800. Thus, the selling price (SP) is: \[ \text{SP} = 5800 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Gain Gain is calculated by subtracting the total cost price from the selling price: \[ \text{Gain} = \text{SP} - \text{CP} = 5800 - 5500 = 300 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Gain Percent Gain percent is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Gain Percent} = \left( \frac{\text{Gain}}{\text{CP}} \right) \times 100 \] Substituting the values we have: \[ \text{Gain Percent} = \left( \frac{300}{5500} \right) \times 100 \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Gain Percent Calculation First, simplify the fraction: \[ \frac{300}{5500} = \frac{300 \div 100}{5500 \div 100} = \frac{3}{55} \] Now, multiply by 100: \[ \text{Gain Percent} = \frac{3}{55} \times 100 = \frac{300}{55} \] ### Step 6: Further Simplify Now, we can simplify \( \frac{300}{55} \): \[ \frac{300}{55} = \frac{60}{11} \approx 5.4545 \] So, the gain percent can be expressed as: \[ \text{Gain Percent} = 5 \frac{5}{11} \% \] ### Final Answer Thus, Vishal's gain percent is \( 5 \frac{5}{11} \% \). ---
