Answers & Solutions:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Total amount = 20 x 7 + 8 x 22 + 6 x 175 + 7 x 43
\n= 140 + 176 + 900 + 301
\n= Rs1,667<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marked price = 78,350 + 30% of 78,350 = Rs 1,01,855
\nPrice after discount = 101855 -20% of 101855 = Rs 81,484
\nProfit = Rs 3,134<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The profits are divided in the ratio of [Investment X time period]
\nSo, this number for A is 30k X 12 = 360k
\nFor B it is 24k X 4 + 18k X 12 = 240k
\nFor C it is 42k X 4 + 32k X 8 = 424kSo, B’s share in the profit will be $\\frac{240}{360+240+424} \\times 11960 = 2803.125 \\approx 2803$<\/p>\n

Loss percent
\n= [$\\frac{loss}{10}$]2<\/sup> %
\n= [$\\frac{12}{10}$]2 <\/sup>%
\n= $\\frac{36}{25}$ %
\n= 1$\\frac{11}{25}$ %<\/p>\n

5)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

CP = (100\u00d7SP)\/((100+gain%))=(100\u00d784)\/120= Rs. 70<\/p>\n

6)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gain% = (1000-960)\/960 x 100 = 25\/6=4 1\/6%<\/p>\n

7)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the marked price be Rs. 100.
\nThen cost price = 100 – 40 = Rs. 60
\nSelling price = 100+ 50 = Rs. 150
\nProfit = 150 – 60 = 90
\nProfit%=90\/60\u00d7100=150%<\/p>\n

8)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we know that the profit will be distributed in the ratio of (money invested)*(Duration for which money was invested). Hence, Ratio will be = 12000*12 : 15000*12 : 20000*9 = 4:5:5<\/p>\n

9)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

10)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(E)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the cost price be x.
\nAs per given condition, the labelled price will be 1.3x.
\nDiscounted price will be 0.9*1.3x= 1.17x
\nNow, Profit = Price at which item was sold – Cost Price = 1.17x – x = .17x = 17% of Cost price.
\nHence, profit is 17%.<\/p>\n

11)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Selling price is Rs 15 and Profit is 25%=> Cost Price = $\\frac{15}{1.25}$ = Rs 12=> In every litre of solution, there is Rs 12 worth milk.But the actual cost of milk is Rs 16.=> Ratio = 12 : 4 = 3 : 1<\/p>\n

12)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n

50% of the goods are sold at 12%.=> 0.5(x) + 0.5(12) = 0.18=> 0.5x = 0.12=> x = 0.24<\/p>\n

13)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the CP of the article be x.Loss % = (CP-SP)\/CP = (x-6384)\/x = 0.31 – 6384\/x = 0.3x = 9120Profit % = (SP-CP)\/CP0.3 = (SP-9120)\/9120SP = 9120*1.3 = Rs 11,856<\/p>\n

14)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the CP of an article be x. Loss% =$\\frac{CP-SP}{CP}$ 0.55 = $\\frac{x-9549}{x}$ 0.55 = 1-$\\frac{9549}{x}$ x = 9549\/(1- 0.55) = 9549\/0.45 = 21220.<\/p>\n

15)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(E)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the cost price of the article is 100 In order to earn 30% profit, the shopkeeper will sell it for 130 Discount = 10% of 130 = 13 SP = 130-13 = 117 Profit % =$\\frac{117-100}{100}*100$ = 17%<\/p>\n
