Question : A man bought nine pens for a rupee. How many pens should he sell for a rupee to gain 50%?
Option 1: 3
Option 2: 6
Option 3: 7
Option 4: 8
Correct Answer: 6
Solution : The cost price of 9 pens = Re. 1 The cost price of a pen = Re. $\frac{1}{9}$ Profit percentage = 50% The selling price of a pen = $\frac{150}{100}×\frac{1}{9}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$ If 1 pen = INR $\frac{1}{6}$, Number of pens sold for Re. 1 = 6 Hence, the correct answer is 6.
