c) ₹15,735

d) ₹15,000

SP of 40 chairs =10000
SP of 1 chair=250
Given a loss of 4% and so CP of 1 chair=250/0.96
CP of 30 chairs=(250/0.96)*30
CP of 30 chairs=7812.5
Profit percent=((1000-7812.5)/7812.5)*100
=28%

let the cost price be 100
Marked price will be 100*1.20=120
As two successive discount of 15% were given we have
SP=120*(85/100)(85/100)
SP=86.70
Profit percent=((100-86.7)/100)*100
=13.3%

let the cost price be 100
Marked price will be 100*1.25=125
As two successive discount of 20% were given we have
SP=125*(90/100)(90/100)
SP=101.25
Profit percent=((101.25-100)/100)*100
=1.25%

Let the Cost Price of each article be Re.1
Then, Cost Price of 18 articles = Rs.18 = Selling Price of 24 articles
Cost Price of 24 articles = Rs.24
Therefore, Overall loss = Rs.24-Rs.18 = Rs.6
Loss percentage = $\frac{6}{24}\times100 = 25$%

Cost Price of 1 banana = Rs.600/100 = Rs.6
Selling Price of 1 banana = Rs.72/12 = Rs.6.
Overall Profit = Rs.6-Rs.6 = Rs.0
Hence, There is no profit and no loss in this transaction.

Cost Price of 45 kg of rice $= 20\times15+25\times20 = 300+500 = Rs.800$

Selling Price of 45 kg of rice $= 45\times24 = Rs.1080$

Profit = 1080-800 = Rs.280

Profit percentage = $\dfrac{280}{800}\times100 = 35$

Cost Price = Rs.35000+Rs.5000 = Rs.40000
Selling Price = Rs.60000
Profit = Rs.60000-Rs.40000 = Rs.20000
Profit percentage = $\frac{20000}{40000}\times100 = 50$%

Let C.P. be Rs. c.

Then, (2160 – c)/c x 100 = (c – 1440)/c x 100
2160 – c = c – 1440

2c = 3600

c = 1800

Required S.P. = 130% of Rs. 1800 = Rs. 1.30 x 1800 = Rs 2340.

Let a = discount = -25%
b = Marked up percentage = 16%

Effective profit/loss % = a + b + $\Large\frac{ab}{100}$

$\Rightarrow$ $-25$ $+$ $16$ $+$ $\Large\frac{(-25)\times16}{100}$

$\Rightarrow$ $-9$ $+$ $(-4)$ $=$ $-13$%

$\therefore$ Effective loss % $=$ $13$%

Cost price of TV = Rs. 2000

Profit % = 20%

=> Selling price of TV = $2000+(\frac{20}{100}\times2000)$

= $2000+400=Rs.$ $2400$

Similarly, selling price of radio = $750-(\frac{5}{100}\times750)$

= $750-37.5=Rs.$ $712.5$

Thus, total cost price = $(2000+750)=Rs.$ $2750$

and total selling price = $(2400+712.5)=Rs.$ $3112.5$

$\therefore$ Gain = $3112.5-2750=Rs.$ $362.50$

=> Ans – (B)

Let cost price = Rs. $100$

=> Marked price = $100+(\frac{60}{100}\times100)$

= $100+60=Rs.$ $160$

Also, profit % = 12%

=> Selling price = $100+(\frac{12}{100}\times100)$

= $100+12=Rs.$ $112$

$\therefore$ Discount % = $\frac{(160-112)}{160}\times100$

= $\frac{48}{1.6}=30\%$

=> Ans – (C)

Let cost price = Rs. 100

=> Profit = $\frac{210}{100}\times100=Rs.$ $210$

=> Selling price = $210+100=Rs.$ $310$

Now new cost price = $100+(\frac{40}{100}\times100)=Rs.$ $140$

Thus, new profit = $310-140=Rs.$ $170$

=> Required % = $\frac{170}{310}\times100\approx55\%$

=> Ans – (A)

Let cost price = Rs. 100

=> Profit = $\frac{230}{100}\times100=Rs.$ $230$

=> Selling price = $230+100=Rs.$ $330$

Now new cost price = $100+(\frac{50}{100}\times100)=Rs.$ $150$

Thus, new profit % = $\frac{(330-150)}{150}\times100$

= $\frac{180}{1.5}=120\%$

=> Ans – (C)

Cost price = Rs. 1500

Markup % = 25%

=> Selling price = $1500+(\frac{25}{100}\times1500)$

= $1500+375=Rs.$ $1875$

Total cost price (including tax) = $1500+75=Rs.$ $1575$

$\therefore$ Profit % = $\frac{(1875-1575)}{1575}\times100$

= $\frac{300}{15.75}\approx 20\%$

=> Ans – (D)

Let quantity sold at 8% profit = $x$ kg

=> Quantity sold at 18% profit = $(1000-x)$ kg

According to ques,

=> $8(x)+18(1000-x)=14(1000)$

=> $8x+18000-18x=14000$

=> $10x=18000-14000=4000$

=> $x=\frac{4000}{10}=400$

$\therefore$ The quantity sold 8% profit = $400$ kg

=> Ans – (C)

Let cost price = Rs. $100$

Markup % = 20%

=> Marked price = $100+(\frac{20}{100}\times100)$

= $100+20=Rs.$ $120$

After allowing discount of 5%, => Selling price = $120-(\frac{5}{100}\times120)$

= $120-6=Rs.$ $114$

$\therefore$ Profit % = $\frac{(114-100)}{100}\times100=14\%$

=> Ans – (A)

Let Marked price = Rs. 100

Discount % = 20%

=> Mohan’s cost price = $100-(\frac{20}{100}\times100)=Rs.$ $80$

Profit % = 40%

=> Selling price = $80+(\frac{40}{100}\times80)$

= $80+32=Rs.$ $112$

$\therefore$ Percentage of profit on the labelled price = $\frac{(112-100)}{100}\times100=12\%$

=> Ans – (D)

Let C.P. of 1 chair = Rs. $x$ and S.P. of 1 chair = Rs. $y$

According to ques, => $25x=30y$

=> $\frac{x}{y}=\frac{30}{25}=\frac{6}{5}$

Let $x=6$ and $y=5$

$\therefore$ Loss % = $\frac{(x-y)}{x}\times100$

= $\frac{(6-5)}{6}\times100=\frac{50}{3}$

= $16\ \frac{2}{3}\%$

=> Ans – (A)

Let cost price = Rs. $100$

Markup % = 30%

=> Marked price = $100+(\frac{30}{100}\times100)$

= $100+30=Rs.$ $130$

Discount % = 10%

=> Selling price = $130-(\frac{10}{100}\times130)$

= $130-13=Rs.$ $117$

$\therefore$ Profit % = $\frac{(117-100)}{100}\times100=17\%$

=> Ans – (B)

$\frac{3}{5}$ (95% of T) = 8,550
