    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    Suppose, number of articles bought = L.C.M. of 6 and 5 = 30.

     

    C.P. of 30 articles = Rs [ \(\frac { 5} { 6 } \)   x 30]   = Rs. 25.
     

     

    S.P. of 30 articles = Rs.   \( \frac { 6 } { 5 } \)x 30 = Rs. 36.
     

     

     Gain % =   \(\frac { 11 } { 25 }\)x 100 %=44%.
