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

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

Let marked price of lunch buffet = Rs. 100<\/p>\n

When discount of 20% is given, => Selling price of ticket = $\\frac{(100 – 20)}{100} \\times 100 = Rs. 80$<\/p>\n

Let cost price = $Rs. x$<\/p>\n

=> Profit % = $\\frac{80 – x}{x} \\times 100 = 42$<\/p>\n

=> $\\frac{80 – x}{x} = \\frac{42}{100} = \\frac{21}{50}$<\/p>\n

=> $4000 – 50x = 21x$<\/p>\n

=> $21x + 50x = 71x = 4000$<\/p>\n

=> $x = \\frac{4000}{71} = $ Rs. $56.33$<\/p>\n

If discount is 15%, => Selling price = $\\frac{(100 – 15)}{100} \\times 100 = Rs. 85$<\/p>\n

=> Profit % = $\\frac{85 – 56.33}{56.33} \\times 100$<\/p>\n

= $\\frac{2867}{56.33} \\approx 50.875\\%$<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (B)<\/p>\n

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

1 quintal = 100 kg => 22 quintals = 2200 kg<\/p>\n

Let the part he sold at 33% profit = $x$ kg<\/p>\n

=> Part he sold at 23% profit = $(2200 – x)$ kg<\/p>\n

Total profit made by the trader = 27%<\/p>\n

=> $33x + 23 (2200 – x) = 27 \\times 2200$<\/p>\n

=> $33x + (23 \\times 2200) – 23x = 27 \\times 2200$<\/p>\n

=> $10x = 2200 \\times (27 – 23)$<\/p>\n

=> $x = 220 \\times 4 = 880$ kg<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (C)<\/p>\n

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

Let list price = Rs. $100x$<\/p>\n

After 10% discount, selling price = $\\frac{100 – 10}{100} \\times 100x$ = Rs. $90x$<\/p>\n

Let Cost price = Rs. $y$<\/p>\n

=> Loss % = $\\frac{y – 90x}{y} \\times 100 = 25$<\/p>\n

=> $\\frac{y – 90x}{y} = \\frac{25}{100} = \\frac{1}{4}$<\/p>\n

=> $4y – 360x = y$<\/p>\n

=> $4y – y = 360x$<\/p>\n

=> $y = \\frac{360x}{3} = 120x$<\/p>\n

If discount = 20%, => Selling price = $\\frac{100 – 20}{100} \\times 100x = Rs. 80x$<\/p>\n

$\\therefore$\u00a0Loss <\/strong>%<\/strong>\u00a0= $\\frac{120x – 80x}{120x} \\times 100$<\/p>\n

= $\\frac{100}{3} \\approx 33.33 \\%$<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (B)<\/p>\n

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

1 quintal = 100 kg => 9 quintals = 900 kg<\/p>\n

Let the part he sold at 20% profit = $x$ kg<\/p>\n

=> Part he sold at 10% profit = $(900 – x)$ kg<\/p>\n

Total profit made by the trader = 14%<\/p>\n

=> $20x + 10 (900 – x) = 14 \\times 900$<\/p>\n

=> $20x + (10 \\times 900) – 10x = 14 \\times 900$<\/p>\n

=> $10x = 900 \\times (14 – 10)$<\/p>\n

=> $x = 90 \\times 4 = 360$ kg<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (B)<\/p>\n

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

Cost price = Rs. 3344 for 22 quintals<\/p>\n

Quantity of rice left with the trader after transportation lost = $\\frac{100 – 24}{100} \\times 22$<\/p>\n

= $\\frac{19}{25} \\times 22$ = 16.72 quintals<\/p>\n

To have 30% profit, total selling price of the trader should be = $\\frac{130}{100} \\times 3344$<\/p>\n

= Rs. 4347.2<\/p>\n

$\\therefore$ Selling price per quintal = $\\frac{4347.2}{16.72} = Rs. 260$<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (D)<\/p>\n

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

Let marked price = Rs. $100x$<\/p>\n

After 25% discount, selling price = $\\frac{100 – 25}{100} \\times 100x$ = Rs. $75x$<\/p>\n

Let Cost price = Rs. $y$<\/p>\n

=> Profit % = $\\frac{75x – y}{y} \\times 100 = 41$<\/p>\n

=> $\\frac{75x – y}{y} = \\frac{41}{100}$<\/p>\n

=> $7500x – 100y = 41y$<\/p>\n

=> $y = \\frac{7500x}{141} \\approx Rs$ $53.2x$<\/p>\n

If, discount = 26%, => Selling price = $\\frac{100 – 26}{100} \\times 100x = Rs. 74x$<\/p>\n

$\\therefore$ Profit % = $\\frac{74x – 53.2x}{53.2x} \\times 100 = \\approx 39.12\\%$<\/p>\n

Ans – (A)<\/p>\n

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

Cost Price of 25 kg of rice = Rs.600
\nThen, Cost Price of 1 kg of rice = Rs.24
\nGiven, Cost Price of 25 kg of rice – Selling Price of 25 kg of rice = Selling Price of 5 kg of rice
\n=> Cost Price of 25 kg of rice = Selling Price of 30 kg of rice
\nHere, Cost Price of 25 kg of rice = Rs.600
\n=> Selling Price of 30 kg of rice = Rs.600
\nThen, Selling Price of 1 kg of rice = Rs.20
\nTherefore, Loss percentage $= \\dfrac{24-20}{24}\\times100 = \\dfrac{4}{24}\\times100 = \\dfrac{1}{6}\\times100 = 16.67$%<\/p>\n

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

Selling Price of first article = Rs.470
\nLoss = 20%
\nCost Price of first article = $Rs.470\\times\\dfrac{100}{80} = Rs.587.5$
\nCost Price of second article = Rs.470
\nProfit = 20%
\nSelling Price of second article = $Rs.470\\times\\dfrac{120}{100} = Rs.564$
\nOverall Cost Price of both articles = Rs.587.5+Rs.470 = Rs.1057.5
\nOverall Selling Price of both articles = Rs.470+Rs.564 = Rs.1034
\nTherefore, Loss percent = $\\dfrac{1057.5-1034}{1057.5}\\times100 = \\dfrac{23.5}{1057.5}\\times100 = 2.22$%<\/p>\n

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

Given, Selling Price of first article = Rs.960
\nProfit = 20%
\nThen, Cost Price of first article = $Rs.960 \\times \\dfrac{100}{120} = Rs.800$
\nGiven, Cost Price of second article = Rs.960
\nLoss = 20%
\nThen, Selling Price of second article = $Rs.960 \\times \\dfrac{80}{100} = Rs.768$
\nTotal Cost Price of first and second article = Rs.800+Rs.960 = Rs.1760
\nTotal Selling Price of first and second article = Rs.960+Rs.768 = Rs.1728
\nTherefore, Loss = Rs.1760 – Rs.1728 = Rs.32<\/p>\n

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

Let the Cost Price of each article be Rs.100
\nThen, Cost Price of 100 articles = 100*100 = Rs.10000
\nCost Price of 25 articles = Rs.2500
\nSelling Price of 25 articles with a profit of 25% = 125% of Rs.2500 = Rs.3125
\nRemaining articles = 75
\nCost Price of 75 articles = Rs.7500
\nSelling Price of 75 articles with a loss of 25% = 75% of Rs.7500 = Rs.5625
\nTotal Cost Price = Rs.10000
\nTotal Selling Price = Rs.3125+Rs.5625 = Rs.8750
\nLoss percentage = $\\dfrac{10000-8750}{10000}\\times100 = \\dfrac{1250}{10000}\\times100 = 12.5$%<\/p>\n
