Correct Answer

Explanation

To find the gain percentage, you can use the following formula:

Gain percentage = (Gain / Cost) * 100

In this case, the cost is 100 - 15 = Rs.85 and the gain is 15, so the gain percentage is:

Gain percentage = (15 / 85) * 100

This simplifies to:

Gain percentage = 15/17* 20

So the gain percentage is 300/17%.
