A
There is a loss

B

Net SP = Rs (x + y)
Hence, No Profit No Loss

Question 9
3 / -1

Amilkman professes to sell milk at its CP only. But still he is making a profit of 20% since he has mixed some amount of water in the milk. What is the percentage of milk in the mixture?

A
80%

B
83.33%

C
75%

D
66.66%

Solution

Alternatively, if he has initially 10 L of milk, he must have made it 12 L of mixture to get a profit of 20% (since SP per litre = CP per litre). Hence out of 12 litres of mixture, 10 litres is milk and 2 litres is water.
Question 10
3 / -1

While I was shopping in Kamla Nagar market for my baby girl Tatto, I came across two shopkeepers who were giving me a discount of same amount for a top. While first shopkeeper was offering a discount of 14.28%, second shopkeeper was offering a discount of 12.5% over their respective mark-ups. Whose cost price is higher?

A
1st shopkeeper

B
2nd shopkeeper

C
Either of them depending upon their respective MP

D
Cannot be determined

Solution

According to the question, 14.28% of Mark up of 1st shopkeeper = 12.5% of mark up of 2nd shopkeeper.
With this we can compare the markup prices.
However nothing can be said about the cost prices of the shopkeepers.
Question 11

Question 12
3 / -1

Anam bought a jute bag at 30% discount on the list price. He then sold it at a price which is 160% of the list price thereby making a profit of Rs 81. What is the list price of the bag?

A
Rs 90

B
Rs 100

C
Rs 180

D
Rs 200

Solution

Assume that MP = Rs 100
then CP of An am = Rs 70
and his SP = Rs 160
So, his Profit = Rs 90.
Now using unitary method, when profit of Anam = Rs 90, then his MP = 100. So when his MP = Rs 81, his MP = 90.
Question 13
3 / -1

Santa Singh, the local fruit vendor, buys a certain number of oranges at Rs 7 a dozen and equal number at Rs 6 a dozen. He sells the oranges at Rs 7.50 a dozen and makes a profit of Rs 80. How many oranges does he buy?

A
20 dozens

B
70 dozens

C
80 dozens

D

Solution

C.P. of 2 dozen oranges = Rs. (7 + 6) = Rs. 13.
S.P. of 2 dozen oranges = Rs. 7.5(2)= 15
If profit is Rs. 2,
oranges bought = 2 dozen.
If profit is Rs. 80,
oranges bought = (2/2 x 80) dozens = 80 dozens.
