Solution : Given: A man buys 10 oranges for a rupee and sells 8 oranges for a rupee. The cost price of 10 oranges = Re. 1 The cost price of 1 orange = Rs. 0.10 The selling price of 8 oranges = Re. 1 The selling price of 1 orange = Rs. 0.125 Gain percentage = $\frac{\text{selling price – cost price}}{\text{cost price}}$ × 100 = $\frac{0.125 - 0.10}{0.10}$ × 100 = 25% Hence, the correct answer is 25%.
