Correct Answer: $7\frac{49}{93}$%
Solution : Faulty weight = 930 gm True weight = 1000 gm Gain % = $\frac{\text{Error}}{\text{True Value - Error}}×100$ Error = 1000 – 930 = 70 gm The profit percentage on buying 15 kg will be the same as buying 1 kg. Gain % = $\frac{70}{1000-70} \times 100$ ⇒ Gain % = $\frac{70}{930} \times 100 = 7\frac{49}{93}$% Hence, the correct answer is $ 7\frac{49}{93}$%.
