$\\therefore$ Required % = $\\frac{(175-100)}{175}\\times100$<\/p>\n = $\\frac{300}{7}=42.85\\%$<\/p>\n => Ans – (A)<\/p>\n 2)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n Price of 61 kgs of certain variety of rice at 32 per kg = (60)(32)<\/p>\n Price of 48 kgs of another variety of rice at x per kg = 48x<\/p>\n As there is no profit or loss,<\/p>\n (60) (32) + 48x = (108)(28)<\/p>\n Divide by ’48’ on both sides<\/p>\n 40 + x = 63<\/p>\n x = 23<\/p>\n Hence, option C is the correct answer.<\/p>\n 3)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n Let cost price be 100<\/p>\n Then, selling price will be 110 as profit is 10%<\/p>\n If he sells it at double the price then selling price would be 110 x 2 = 220<\/p>\n Profit percentage = $\\frac{(220 – 100)}{100} \\times 100$<\/p>\n = $\\frac{120}{100} \\times 100$<\/p>\n = 120%<\/p>\n Hence, option A is the correct answer.<\/p>\n 4)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n Let cost price of 1 article = 1 rupee<\/p>\n Then, cost price of 20 articles = 20 rupees<\/p>\n Given, selling price of 20 articles = Cost price of 22 articles (or) 22 rupees<\/p>\n $\\therefore$ Profit percentage = $\\frac{selling\\ price\\ -\\ cost\\ price}{cost price} \\times 100$ %<\/p>\n = $\\frac{22 – 20}{20} \\times 100$ % (or) $\\frac{200}{20}$ %<\/p>\n = 10 %<\/p>\n Hence, option C is the correct answer.<\/p>\n 5)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n Let cost price be x<\/p>\n As per the given question, equation can be written as<\/p>\n (106% – 94%) of x = 6<\/p>\n 12% of x = 6<\/p>\n x = 50<\/p>\n Hence, option B is the correct answer.<\/p>\n 6)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(D)<\/strong><\/p>\n Let cost price = 100<\/p>\n If MRP is 10% higher than cost price then, MRP = 110<\/p>\n If a discount of 10% is given then selling price would be,<\/p>\n S.P = 90% of 110 (or) 99<\/p>\n The seller loses 1% in the sale.<\/p>\n Hence, option D is the correct answer.<\/p>\n 7)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n 8)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(C)<\/strong><\/p>\n

= after 20% profit = $1000+(\\frac{20}{100}\\times1000)=Rs.$ $1200$<\/p>\n Similarly, weight used while selling = $1000-(\\frac{10}{100}\\times1000)=900$ gm<\/p>\n => Selling price = Rs. $\\frac{1200}{900}=1.33$ per gm<\/p>\n $\\therefore$ Profit % = $\\frac{(1.33-1)}{1}\\times100=33.33\\%$<\/p>\n => Ans – (C)<\/p>\n 12)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n Cost price of gift = Rs.
