Solutions:
1) Answer (C)
Total amount = 20 x 7 + 8 x 22 + 6 x 175 + 7 x 43
= 140 + 176 + 900 + 301
= Rs1,667
2) Answer (A)
Marked price = 78,350 + 30% of 78,350 = Rs 1,01,855
Price after discount = 101855 -20% of 101855 = Rs 81,484
Profit = Rs 3,134
3) Answer (C)
CP = (100×SP)/((100+gain%))=(100×84)/120= Rs. 70
4) Answer (B)
Let the marked price be Rs. 100.
Then cost price = 100 – 40 = Rs. 60
Selling price = 100+ 50 = Rs. 150
Profit = 150 – 60 = 90
Profit%=90/60×100=150%

5) Answer (C)
The total amount distributed among officers = 45*25000= 11,25,000
If the total amount is x, then this amount is (5/8)x=11,25,000
Hence, x=18,00,000
6) Answer (E)
Let the cost price be x.
As per given condition, the labelled price will be 1.3x.
Discounted price will be 0.9*1.3x= 1.17x
Now, Profit = Price at which item was sold – Cost Price = 1.17x – x = .17x = 17% of Cost price. Hence, profit is 17%.

7) Answer (A)
50% of the goods are sold at 12%.
=> 0.5(x) + 0.5(12) = 0.18
=> 0.5x = 0.12
=> x = 0.24
8) Answer (B)
Let the CP of the article be x.
Loss % = (CP-SP)/CP = (x-6384)/x = 0.3
1 – 6384/x = 0.3
x = 9120
Profit % = (SP-CP)/CP
0.3 = (SP-9120)/9120
SP = 9120*1.3 = Rs 11,856
9) Answer (A)
The selling price of article is, Selling price = Cost Price + Selling price * (Percent Profit/100)
Selling Price = 480 + (6.25/100)*480 = 510
Hence, the correct option is option A.
10) Answer (C)
Let the CP be the Cost Price and SP be Selling Price.
Profit = SP – CP = 996 – CP
Loss = CP -SP = CP – 894
Now as Profit = Loss
2*CP = 1890
CP =945
Hence, the cost price is 945.
