A Correct answer
Explanation

The dealer gives 960 g instead of 1000 g, so his gain is 40 g on every 960 g sold. Gain percent = (40/960)*100 = 25/6%.

AI explanation

Using the faulty weight profit formula, Profit% = ((True Weight - False Weight) / False Weight) * 100. Substituting the values gives ((1000 - 960) / 960) * 100, which equals (40 / 960) * 100. This simplifies to 100 divided by 24, resulting in a gain of 25/6%.
