A trader sold an article at a loss of 5% but when he increased the selling price by \(\unicode{x20B9} \)65 he gained 3.33% on the cost price. If he sells the same article at \(\unicode{x20B9} \)936, what is the profit percentage?

B) 16.66%
C) 20%
D) Data insufficient
Solution:

Ans (c) 103.33 CP - 0.95 CP = 65
