Correct Answer: 50%
Solution : Given that the article was bought for Rs. 600 and sold for Rs. 900, ⇒ Profit = Selling price − Cost price = Rs. 900 − Rs. 600 = Rs.300 We know that, Gain percentage = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost price}}$ × 100 = $\frac{300}{600}$ × 100 = 0.5 × 100 = 50% Hence, the correct answer is 50%.
