Correct Answer: $7 \frac{1}{7} \%$


Solution : First, the cost price (CP) per notebook = $\frac{700}{35}$ = Rs. 20
Then, the selling price (SP) per notebook = $\frac{600}{28}$ = Rs. 21.43
The gain is the difference between the SP and CP = 21.43 – 20 = Rs. 1.43 per notebook
Percentage Gain = $\left(\frac{\text{Gain}}{\text{CP}}\right) \times 100 = \left(\frac{1.43}{20}\right) \times 100 \approx 7 \frac{1}{7} \%$
Hence, the correct answer is $7 \frac{1}{7} \%$.
