Answer» Given, Cost price (C.P) of 2 lemons = Rs. 1 =&GT;C.P of 1 lemon = Rs. 1/2 = Rs. 0.50 Given, SELLING price (S.P) of 5 lemons = Rs. 3 =>S.P of 1 lemon = Rs. 3/5 = 0.60 Gain = S.P of1 lemon -C.P of 1 lemon = 0.60 - 0.50 = 0.10 =>Gain = Rs. 0.10 Gain % = (Gain / C.P of 1 lemon) * 100% = (0.10 / 0.50)* 100% = 20% Thus, Gain % = 20%.

Answer»

Given, Cost price (C.P) of 2 lemons = Rs. 1

=&GT;C.P of 1 lemon = Rs. 1/2 = Rs. 0.50

Given, SELLING price (S.P) of 5 lemons = Rs. 3

=>S.P of 1 lemon = Rs. 3/5 = 0.60

Gain = S.P of1 lemon -C.P of 1 lemon

= 0.60 - 0.50

= 0.10

=>Gain = Rs. 0.10

Gain % = (Gain / C.P of 1 lemon) * 100%

= (0.10 / 0.50)* 100%

= 20%

Thus, Gain % = 20%.
