Mr. David noticed that doubling the daily production from 20 to 40 units increases the daily production cost by 66.67%. However, an increase in daily production from 40 to 60 units results in an increase of only 50% in the daily production cost.

Because of the faulty meter, he is paying x for 120 cms when buying.<\/p>\n So cost of 100 cms = 100x\/120. He is selling 80 cms for x, so selling price is 100x\/80. discount = 20%<\/p>\n so selling price is .8*100x\/80= x<\/p>\n profit = x – 100x\/120 = x\/6<\/p>\n Profit % = x\/6 divided by 100x\/120 = 20%<\/p>\n 4)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n Cost price per watch = 150 5)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(A)<\/strong><\/p>\n As shopkeeper gave 3 one-rupee change for 20 rs. change, Buyer must have ordered for a total of 17 rs. stamps. 2 stamp for 5 rupees = 10 rs. For the total to be seventeen, the buyer must have purchased 3 one rupee stamps.

So there are 3 possibilities. So there can never be 3 horses between white and red according to above to possibilities. Hence option D cannot be true.<\/p>\n 10)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(B)<\/strong><\/p>\n Selling price of first watch = 300 Total selling price of transaction= 600
\nAnd\u00a0 now total selling price will be = $12200 \\times 60 + 18300 \\times 40$ = 1464000
\nHence \u200bprofit = selling price – cost price
\n= 1464000 – 1200000
\n= 264000 rs.\u200b\u200b<\/div>\n
\nCost incurred in buying 20 mangoes = 2.5*20 = 50x<\/p>\n
\nCost price for 1500 watches = $1500 \\times 150$ = 225000
\nTotal expense = 225000 + 30000 = 255000
\nSelling price for season = $1200 \\times 250$ = 300000
\nFor out of season = $300 \\times 100$ = 30000
\nTotal selling = 300000 + 30000 = 330000
\nProfit = 330000 – 255000 = 75000<\/p>\n
\nNow buyer ordered for at least\u00a0more than 1 stamp for each type
\nHence the minimum he bought was:<\/p>\n
\n2 stamp for 2 rupees = 4 rs.
\n2 stamp for 1 rupee = 2 rs.<\/p>\n
\nAnd 3 one rupee stamps were also there as changes given by shopkeeper.
\nSo total number of stamps = 2+2+(3+3) = 10<\/p>\n
\nSales = y
\nrevenue = xy
\nChanged price = 1.3x
\nchanged value of sales = 0.8y
\nnew revenue = 1.04 xy
\nPercentage change in revenue = 4%<\/p>\n
\nCost of 40 units = 240+40b+1600c = 5\/3 * (240+20b+400c) => 720+120b+4800c = 1200+100b+2000c
\n=> 480 = 20b + 2800c => 120 = 5b + 700c
\nCost of 60 units = 240+60b+3600c = 3\/2 (240+40b+1600c) => 480 + 120b + 7200c = 720 + 120b + 4800c
\n=> 240 = 2400c => c = 1\/10 and b = 10
\nLet the number of items needed for max profit be k
\nCP = $240+10k+k^2\/10$
\nSP = 30k
\nProfit = SP – CP = $30k – 240 – 10k – k^2\/10$ = $20k – 240 – k^2\/10$
\nMaximum when 20 – k\/5 = 0 or k = 100
\nProfit = 2000 – 240 – 1000 = 760<\/p>\n
\n1) White comes 2nd, Black comes 4th and Red comes 5th.
\n2) Black comes 1st, White comes 3rd and Red comes 4th or 5th.
\n3) Black comes 2nd, Red comes 3rd and White comes 4th or 5th.<\/p>\n
\nProfit = 10%
\ncost price = $\\frac{300}{1.1}$
\nSelling price of second watch = 300
\nLoss = 10%
\ncost price = $\\frac{300}{0.9}$<\/p>\n
\nTotal cost price of transaction = $300(\\frac{10}{11} + \\frac{10}{9}) = 600 (\\frac{100}{99})$
\nLoss = $600 (\\frac{100}{99} – 1)$
\n%loss = $(600 (\\frac{100}{99} – 1)) \\div (600(\\frac{100}{99})) \\times 100 = 1$<\/p>\n
