(D) Let the total number of guavas bought be $xy$.Cost Price $(C.P.)$ of $x$ guavas $= Rs. y$.Therefore,$C.P.$ of $xy$ guavas $= xy 	imes \frac{y}{x} = y^{2}$.Selling Price $(S.P.)$ of $y$ guavas $= Rs. x$.Therefore,$S.P.$ of $xy$ guavas $= xy 	imes \frac{x}{y} = x^{2}$.Since $x > y$,then $x^{2} > y^{2}$,which implies a gain.Gain $= S.P. - C.P. = x^{2} - y^{2}$.Gain $\% = \left( \frac{	ext{Gain}}{C.P.} ight) 	imes 100 = \left( \frac{x^{2} - y^{2}}{y^{2}} ight) 	imes 100 \%$.
