Detailed Solution

Given that, the C.P of 5 bananas is equal to the S.P of 3 bananas.
We have the following formulas,
Gain  %  is = SPCP CP ×100  
Let us assume the CP of a banana is Rs 1.
The CP of 3 bananas is Rs 3 and CP of 5 bananas is Rs 5.
Therefore, SP of 3 bananas is Rs 5.
Apply,
Gain  %  is = SPCP CP ×100   
Gain  %  is = 53 3 ×100 = 200 3 =66 2 3 %   Therefore, the correct option is 3.
