  • Question 1
    2 / -0.83

    Arun went to buy an Android mobile, the shopkeeper told him to pay 20% tax if he asked the bill. Arun manages to get the discount of 5% on the actual sale price of the mobile and he paid the shopkeeper Rs. 8550 without tax. Besides he manages to avoid to pay 20% tax on the already discounted price, what is the amount of discount?

    Solution

    CP = 100, SP (with tax) =120
    New SP = 100 –5 = 95
    Discount = 120 –95 = 25
    Discount = 25/95 * 8550 = 2250

  • Question 2
    2 / -0.83

    Cost Price of two mobiles is same. One is sold at a profit of 20% and the other for Rs. 5200 more than the first. If the net profit is 40%. Find the cost price of each mobile?

    Solution

    CP of each mobile be Rs.x then
    (2 x 1.20 x x) + 5200 = 2 x 1.4 x N
    ⇒0.4 x = 5200
    ∴N = 13000

  • Question 3
    2 / -0.83

    Rahul sells his laptop to Ravi at a loss of 20% who subsequently sells it to Suresh at a profit of 25%. Suresh after finding some defect in the laptop, returns it to Ravi but could recover only Rs.4.50 for every Rs. 5 he had paid. Find the amount of Suresh ’s loss if Rahul had paid Rs.50,000 for the laptop ?

    Solution

    Solution:

    Given:
    - Rahul 's cost price of laptop = Rs.50,000
    - Rahul sells laptop to Ravi at a loss of 20%
    - Ravi sells laptop to Suresh at a profit of 25%
    - Suresh returns laptop to Ravi and recovers Rs.4.50 for every Rs.5 he paid

    Calculations:
    1. Rahul 's selling price to Ravi:
    - Rahul 's selling price = 80% of Rs.50,000 (20% loss)
    - Rahul 's selling price = Rs.40,000

    2. Ravi 's cost price of laptop:
    - Ravi 's cost price = Rs.40,000

    3. Ravi 's selling price to Suresh:
    - Ravi 's selling price = 125% of Rs.40,000 (25% profit)
    - Ravi 's selling price = Rs.50,000

    4. Amount recovered by Suresh after returning laptop:
    - Amount recovered = Rs.4.50 for every Rs.5 paid
    - Amount recovered = Rs.4.50 / Rs.5 = 90% of the cost price

    5. Suresh 's cost price of laptop:
    - Suresh 's cost price = Rs.50,000

    6. Suresh 's loss:
    - Suresh 's loss = Rs.50,000 - Rs.45,000 (Amount recovered)
    - Suresh 's loss = Rs.5,000

    Therefore, the amount of Suresh 's loss is Rs.5,000. So, the correct answer is option D: Rs.5,000.0.50/5 * 50,000 = 5000

  • Question 4
    2 / -0.83

    A reduction of 20% in the price of sugar enables a housewife to purchase 6 kg more for Rs. 240. What is original price per kg of sugar?

    Solution

    Explanation:
    Reduction in price = 1/5 = 20%
    Increase in Quantity = 25%
    25% = 6 Kg.
    original amount of Sugar = 6*4 = 24Kg.
    Original price of the sugar = 240/24 = Rs. 10 per kg.

  • Question 5
    2 / -0.83

    A Bike is available at 40% discount at show  room  “A ”and the same is available at only 25% discount at show room “B ”. Mr. Arun has just sufficient amount of Rs. 60,000 to purchase it at show room  “A ”. What is the amount that Mr. Arun has less than the required amount to purchase it at that show room “B ”?

    Solution

    Let the marked price be x.
    Cost price (CP) = 40 % discount on MP = 0.6y = 60000
    ⇒y= Rs.100000 MP
    SP at Show Room “A ”= Rs. 60000
    SP at Show Room “B ”= 100000 X 0.75 = 75000; Difference = 15000

  • Question 6
    2 / -0.83

    Person A sold his car to Person B at a profit of 20% and B sold it to C at a profit of 10%. Person C sold it to mechanic at a loss of 9.09%. Mechanic spent 10% of his purchasing price and then sold it at a profit of 8.33% to Person “A ”once again. What is the loss of person “A ”?

    Solution

    CP = 100
    SP = 120
    B:
    CP = 120
    SP = 132
    C:
    CP = 132
    SP = 120
    Mechanic:
    CP = 120 + 12 = 132
    SP = 143
    Loss of A = 143 –120 = 23
    % loss of A = (23 / 100) x 100 = 23%

  • Question 7
    2 / -0.83

    A and B are two partners and they have invested Rs. 54,000 and Rs. 90,000 in business. After one year A received Rs 1200 as his share of profit out of total profit of Rs. 4200 including his certain commission on total profit since he is a working partner and rest profit is received by B. What is the commission of A as a percentage of the total profit?

    Solution

    Ratio of profit of A : B (excluding commission of A) = 54000 : 90000 =>3 : 5
    Now the share of profit of B = 4200 –1200 = Rs. 3000
    So the share of profit A (excluding commission) = Rs. 1800
    So the commission of A = 3000 –1800 = 1200

  • Question 8
    2 / -0.83

    A shopkeeper bought 150 pen drives at the rate of Rs. 500 per pen drive. He spent Rs. 500 on transportation and packing. If the marked price of pen drive is Rs. 550 per pen drive and the shopkeeper gives a discount of 5% on the marked price then what will be the percentage profit gained by the shopkeeper?

    Solution

    C.P. of 150 pendrives = 150 x 500 = Rs. 75000
    ∴Total C.P. = 75000 + 500 = Rs. 75500
    Marked price of 150 pendrive = 150 x 550 = Rs. 82500
    Selling price after discount = 82500 x 95 / 100 = Rs. 78375
    ∴percentage profit = [(78375 –75500) / 75500] x 100 = 3.8%

  • Question 9
    2 / -0.83

    A vendor has two types of grapes. One is the fresh grapes containing 80% water and dry grapes containing 25% water. He sells 20 kg dry grapes, by adding water to the dry grapes, at cost price. What is the total profit percentage when after adding water the weight of 20 kg dry grapes increase in the proportion of water in fresh grapes?

    Solution

    Fresh grapes
    Water: Pulp = 80% : 20% = 4 : 1
    Dry grapes
    Water: Pulp = 25% : 75% = 1 : 3
    So out of 20 kg dry grapes, Water : Pulp = 5 kg : 15 kg
    After adding of water the ratio of water : pulp is same as the fresh grapes = 4 : 1
    After adding water the quantity of Water and Pulp are 60 kg and 15 kg respectively.
    % = 55/20 * 100 = 275%

  • Question 10
    2 / -0.83

    Pinkey and Shalini invested some amount of money in the ratio of 3:5 for the same period in the business. They decided that at the end of the year 20% profit was to be given to an organization as a donation. Out of the remaining, 75% was to be reinvested and the rest of the profit was to be divided as interest on their capitals. If the difference in their share is Rs. 2400. What is the total profit?

    Solution

    Let the total profit = 100
    Amount left after donation = 50
    Amount left after reinvestment = 20
    Now, 5x/8 –3x/8 = 2400
    ⇒2x/8 = 2400  = 9600
    ⇒1/5 of y = 9600 =>y = 48000

  • Question 11
    2 / -0.83

    A tradesman marks the price of his goods such that after allowing a discount of 25%, he earns a profit of 40%. What is the marked price of an article whose cost price is Rs.180?

    Solution

    S.P = (100+profit%)*cp /100 = 140*180/100 = 252
    M.P –25% of M.P = SP
    X –25/100 X = 252
    X = 336

  • Question 12
    2 / -0.83

    Sriram purchased 40 dozen notebooks at Rs. 50 per dozen. He sold 10 dozens of it at 15% profit and the remaining 30 dozens at 25% profit. What is his percentage profit in the whole transaction?

    Solution

    C.P = 4*50 = 2000
    S.P = 10*50*115 /100 + 30*50*125/100 = 2450
    Profit = 2450- 2000 = 450
    Profit% = 450/2000 * 100 = 22.5

  • Question 13
    2 / -0.83

    A dealer marked the price of an item 20% above cost price. He allowed two successive discounts of 20% and 25% to a customer. As a result he incurred a loss of Rs.812. At what price did he sell the item to the customer?

    Solution

    CP = 100
    MP = 120
    120*80/100 = 96; 96*75/100 = 72
    Loss = 100 –72 = 28%
    CP = 100/28*812 = 2900
    SP = 2900*72/100 = 2088

  • Question 14
    2 / -0.83

    An item was bought at Rs. X and sold at Rs.Y, thereby earning a profit of 20%. Had the value of X been 15% less and the value of Y been Rs.60 less, a profit of 20% would have been earned, What was the value of Y ?

    Solution

    x(1.2)=y ———–1
    x(0.85)(1.2)=y-60 ——————-2
    Sub 1 in 2, and solve y
    Y=400
