Why am I not getting the answer like this? (Question: 247019.0 )

Let C.P =100.
Then Profit =100%
So S.P becomes 200.
Now, 200 is 600
so,100 will be 300.

Why is this the wrong approach? Please help !

Question:
A person sells some oranges for Rs.600 and gain as much percent as the cost price of the oranges. Find C.P.
Options:
A) Rs.300
B) Rs.400
C) Rs.200
D) Rs.600
Solution:

Ans: (c)

bro...if 300 is cp and sp is 600. profit is 100% which is not equal to cp. so this approach is wrong. whenever thet ask u question in rupees better take "x" variable. if at all question is in only % then ur approach wil be correct.

let cp =200
gain is 200% of cp= 2*200=400
so sp is 600
