Question 1
1 / -0

By selling an article for $$\text{Rs. } 100$$, a man gains $$\text{Rs. } 15$$. Then, his gain $$\% $$ is :

A
$$15\%$$

B
$$12\frac { 2 }{ 3 }\%$$

C
$$17\frac { 11 }{ 17 } \%$$

D
$$17\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\%$$

Solution

Selling price $$= \text{Rs. } 100$$
profit $$= \text{Rs. } 15$$
Cost price $$= S.P. - Profit$$
$$= 100 - 15=85$$
Gain $$\%=\dfrac{Profit}{C.P.}\times100$$
$$=\dfrac{15}{85}\times100$$
$$=17\dfrac{11}{17}$$%
Hence, option (c) is correct.
Question 2
1 / -0

A student buys 3 pencils for Rs.4 and sells all at for Rs.5. His gain or loss % is

A
5 % loss

B
25 % gain

C
6.25 % gain

D
6.25 % loss

Solution

$$Profit \% = \dfrac{selling \, price - buying \, price}{buying \, price} \times 100$$
$$= \dfrac{5 - 4}{4} \times 100$$
$$= 25\%$$
Question 3
1 / -0

A shopkeeper purchased $$20$$ dozen bananas for $$\text{Rs }\,208$$, Four dozen of the bananas were rotten. At what price per dozen must he sell the remaining bananas so that he is neither at a loss nor at a profit?

A
$$\text{Rs }\ 13$$

B
$$\text{Rs }\ 9$$

C
$$\text{Rs }\ 11$$

D
$$\text{Rs }\ 17$$

Solution

Cost of $$20$$ dozen bananas $$=\text{Rs }208$$
Remaining bananas $$=$$ Total bananas $$-$$ rotten bananas
$$=20-4=16$$ dozens
let the selling price of 1 dozen bananas be $$x$$
as per the question, $$16$$ dozen bananas are required to be sold at $$\text{Rs }208$$
$$\implies 16x=208$$
$$\implies x=13$$
Hence, the remaining bananas are to be sold at $$\text{Rs 13}$$ per dozen

A shopkeeper purchases 60$$ \mathrm { kg } $$ of acommodity at the rate of Rs. 5 per kg and 150 kg of the same commodity at the rate of Rs.6 per kg. He mixes the two and sells the mixture at the rate of $$7$$Rs-per kg. What is the overall gain?

A
Rs.360

B
Rs.270

C
Rs.180

D
None of these

Solution

The cost of $$60Kg$$ commodity is $$5\times 60=300Rs.$$
The cost of $$150$$ Kg commodity is $$6\times 150=900Rs.$$
The overall cost is $$300+900=1200$$
The total selling price is $$210\times 7=1470$$
The net profit is $$1470-1200=270$$
Question 6

If a quarter kg of potato costs $$60$$ paise, how many paise does $$200$$ gm cost?

A
$$65$$

B
$$70$$

C
$$52$$

D
$$48$$

Solution

Given,

Let the Required cost be $$x$$ paise.

Therefore, $$250 : 200 :: 60 : x$$

$$\Rightarrow (250 \times x) = (200 \times 60)$$

$$\Rightarrow x= 48$$
