Question 1
1 / -0

A shopkeeper marks his goods $$20$$ $$\%$$ higher-than the cost price and allows a discount of $$5$$ $$\%$$. What is the percentage of his profit?

A
$$14$$ $$\%$$

B
$$7$$ $$\%$$

C
$$9$$ $$\%$$

D
$$11$$ $$\%$$

Solution

Let the C.P. of the article $$=$$ Rs. $$100$$.
Then, M.P. of the article$$ = $$ Rs. $$100 + $$ Rs. $$20 =$$ Rs. $$120$$
Rate of Discount $$= 5\%$$
$$\therefore $$ Discount offered $$= 5\% $$ of M.P. $$=\dfrac {5}{100}\times$$ Rs. $$120=$$ Rs. $$6$$
$$\therefore $$ S.P. $$=$$ M.P. $$-$$ Discount $$=$$ Rs. $$120 - $$ Rs. $$6 =$$ Rs. $$114$$

$$\text {Profit} =$$ S.P. $$-$$ CP. $$ =$$ Rs. $$114 -$$ Rs. $$100 =$$ Rs. $$14$$
Profit $$\%=$$ $$\dfrac {14}{100}\times100 $$= $$14 \%$$
Question 2
1 / -0

A shopkeeper earns $$15$$% profit on a shirt even after allowing $$31$$% discount on the list price. If the list price is Rs. $$125$$, then what is the cost price of the shirt?

A
Rs. $$65$$

B
Rs. $$70$$

C
Rs. $$75$$

D
Rs. $$80$$

Solution

Discount on the shirt $$=31\%$$ of Rs. $$125$$
$$=$$ Rs. $$\dfrac {31}{100}\times 125$$
$$=$$ Rs. $$\dfrac {155}{4}$$
Therefore, S.P. of the shirt $$=125-\dfrac {155}{4}$$
$$=$$ Rs. $$\dfrac {345}{4}$$
Therefore, C.P. of the shirt $$=\dfrac {345}{4}\times \dfrac {100}{115}$$
$$=$$ Rs. $$75$$
Thus, the cost price of the shirt is Rs. $$75$$.
Question 3
1 / -0

Find the rate of discount when M.P. $$=$$ Rs. $$975$$ and S.P. $$=$$ Rs. $$650$$.

A
$$33\dfrac {1}{3}\%$$

B
$$33\dfrac {2}{3}\%$$

C
$$33\dfrac {4}{3}\%$$

D
$$33\dfrac {5}{3}\%$$

Solution

Discount $$=$$ M.P. $$-$$ S.P.
$$=$$ Rs. $$975 -$$ Rs. $$650 =$$ Rs. $$325$$
$$\therefore $$ Discount $$\% =$$ $$\left ( \dfrac {\text{Discount }}{\text{M.P.}}\times 100 \right )\%$$
$$=\left ( \dfrac {325}{975}\times 100 \right )\%$$
$$=\dfrac {100}{3}$$ $$\%=$$ $$33\dfrac {1}{3}\%$$
Question 4
1 / -0

A man sold a watch for Rs. $$600$$ at a loss. Had he sold if for Rs. $$750$$, his gain would have been double the former loss. The cost price of the watch is.

A
Rs. $$800$$

B
Rs. $$700$$

C
Rs. $$670$$

D
Rs. $$650$$

Solution

Let the cost price of watch is Rs. $$x$$
Then loss $$=$$ Rs. $$x-600$$
If watch sold Rs. $$750$$, then profit $$=$$ Rs. $$750-x$$
Given gain has been double the loss
Then $$750-x=2(x-600)$$
$$\Rightarrow 750-x=2x-1200$$
$$\Rightarrow x=650$$
Therefore, the cost price of the watch is Rs. $$650$$.
Question 5
1 / -0

Find the S.P. of a TV set whose marked price is Rs. $$17940$$ and the discount offered on it is $$8\%$$?

A
Rs. $$17596.80$$

B
Rs. $$16504.80$$

C
Rs. $$16426.80$$

D
Rs. $$16213.80$$

Solution

Given, M.P. $$=$$ Rs. $$17940$$, Discount $$=8\%$$

S.P. $$=$$ M.P. $$-$$ Discount

S.P $$=17940-8\%$$ of M.P.

$$\Rightarrow 17940-\dfrac{8}{100}\times 17940$$

$$\Rightarrow 17940-1435.20=$$ Rs. $$16504.80$$
Question 6
1 / -0

The rate of discount when M.P. $$=$$ Rs. $$ 4500$$ and S.P. $$=$$ Rs. $$4320$$

A
$$6$$ $$\%$$

B
$$10$$ $$\%$$

C
$$4$$ $$\%$$

D
$$8$$ $$\%$$

Solution

Given, M.P. $$=$$ Rs. $$4500$$ and S.P. $$=$$ Rs. $$4320$$
$$\text{Rate of discount =} \dfrac{MP-SP}{MP}\times100$$
$$=\dfrac{4500-4320}{4500}\times100$$
$$=\dfrac{180}{4500}\times100$$
$$=4\%$$
Hence, option C is correct.
Question 7
1 / -0

The marked price of a pen is Rs. $$60$$.After allowing a discount of $$10 \%$$, the merchant makes a profit of $$20 \%$$. What is the cost price of the pen?

A
Rs. $$ 40$$

B
Rs. $$ \ 45$$

C
Rs. $$60$$

D
Rs. $$80$$

Solution

Let the cost price of a pen Rs. $$100$$
The marchant make profit $$20\%$$, then selling price $$=$$ Rs. $$100+20=120$$
Marked price Rs. $$60$$. Allowing discount $$10\%$$ then selling price $$=$$ $$\dfrac{60\times 90}{100}=54$$ Rs
So, cost price $$=$$ $$\dfrac{54\times 100}{120}=$$ Rs. $$45$$
Question 8
1 / -0

The ratio between the sale price and cost price of an article is $$7: 5$$. What is the ratio between the profit and the cost price of that article ?

A
$$2:7$$

B
$$5:2$$

C
$$7:2$$

D
$$2:5$$

Solution

The ratio between the sale price and cost price of an article is $$7x: 5x.$$
Then the profit becomes $$7x - 5x$$ which is $$2x$$.
So, the ratio between profit and cost price is $$2x : 5x $$ or $$2 : 5$$.
Question 9
1 / -0

Find the marked price of a pair of shoes which are sold at $$Rs\ 2176$$ after allowing an off season discount of $$15 \% $$on them?

A
$$Rs\ 2500$$

B
$$ Rs \ 2568$$

C
$$ Rs \ 2560$$

D
$$ Rs \ 3000$$

Solution

Let the market cost of pair of shoes is Rs $$100$$
Then selling price after discount $$15$$%=$$100-15=85$$ Rs
But he sell it Rs $$2176$$
Then market price=$$\dfrac{2176\times 100}{85}=$$ Rs $$ 2560$$
Question 10
1 / -0

Find the amount actually paid for a mobile phone whose marked price is Rs. $$6600$$ and discount offered on it is $$12$$%.

A
Rs. $$5000$$

B
Rs. $$5880$$

C
Rs. $$5800$$

D
Rs. $$5808$$

Solution

Money discounted$$=12\% $$ of $$6600$$
$$=6600\times\dfrac{12}{100}$$
$$=792$$
Actual amount $$=6600-792=5808$$
Option D is correct.
