Let certain original price be "x"
By selling article at 2/3 one losses 10%. That means 2/3 = 0.9x
Therefore original price would be (3/3) = 0.9x/2 x 3 = 1.35
Answer : Gain of 35%

The question says "By selling it at 2/3 of its price one losses 10%".
Does not it look weird ? The statement itself means that the S.P is less than the C.P , so there must be gain instead of loss.
