∴  C.P. of article  = Rs. space fraction numerator 2 straight x over denominator 5 end fraction
S.P. of article = fraction numerator straight x space cross times space 90 over denominator 100 end fraction
Gain = fraction numerator 9 straight x over denominator 10 end fraction minus fraction numerator 2 straight x over denominator 5 end fraction space equals fraction numerator 9 straight x minus 4 straight x over denominator 10 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator 5 straight x over denominator 10 end fraction space equals straight x over 2
