Given:

CP of 2140 articles = SP of 1712 articles

Formula used:

Gain% = (Gain ÷ CP) × 100

Gain = SP - CP

Calculation:

Let CP of 1 article = ₹1

⇒ CP of 2140 articles = ₹2140

So, SP of 1712 articles = ₹2140

⇒ SP of 1 article = 2140 ÷ 1712

⇒ SP of 1 article = 1.25

Now, CP = ₹1, SP = ₹1.25

⇒ Gain = 1.25 - 1 = 0.25

⇒ Gain% = (0.25 ÷ 1) × 100 = 25%

∴ Gain % = 25%
