Correct Answer: $33\frac{1}{3}\%$
Solution : Given: The selling price (SP) of an article is $1\tfrac{1}{3}$rd of the cost price (CP). Gain percentage $=\frac{\text{Selling price – Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}}×100$ Gain percentage $=\frac{\frac{4}{3}×\text{CP}-\text{CP}}{\text{CP}}×100=(\frac{4}{3}-1)×100=\frac{100}{3}\%=33\frac{1}{3}\%$ Hence, the correct answer is $33\tfrac{1}{3}\%$.
