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

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

Marked price of item = Rs. 900<\/p>\n

=> Marked price of 2 items = $2 \\times 900$ = Rs. 1800<\/p>\n

Amount saved on buying 2 items = $\\frac{16}{100} \\times 1800 = Rs. 288$<\/p>\n

Marked price of 5 items = $5 \\times 900$ = Rs. 4500<\/p>\n

Amount saved on buying 5 items = $\\frac{44}{100} \\times 4500 = Rs. 1980$<\/p>\n

Thus, on buying 7 items, total amount saved = 288 + 1980 = Rs. 2268<\/p>\n

Total marked price of 7 items = $7 \\times 900$ = Rs. 6300<\/p>\n

$\\therefore$ Effective discount = $\\frac{2268}{6300} \\times 100$<\/p>\n

= $\\frac{2268}{63} = 36 \\%$<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (C)<\/p>\n

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

Let Marked Price = $Rs. 100x$<\/p>\n

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

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

Profit % = $\\frac{80x – y}{y} \\times 100 = 32$<\/p>\n

=> $\\frac{80x – y}{y} = \\frac{32}{100} = \\frac{8}{25}$<\/p>\n

=> $2000x – 25y = 8y$<\/p>\n

=> $25y + 8y = 2000x$<\/p>\n

=> $y = \\frac{2000 x}{33} = 60.6x$<\/p>\n

When discount is 18%, Selling price = $\\frac{100-18}{100} \\times 100x = Rs. 82x$<\/p>\n

$\\therefore$ Profit % = $\\frac{82x – 60.6x}{60.6x} \\times 100$<\/p>\n

$\\approx 35.3\\%$<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (C)<\/p>\n

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

Marked price of item = Rs. 100<\/p>\n

=> Marked price of 2 items = $2 \\times 100$ = Rs. 200<\/p>\n

Amount saved on buying 2 items = $\\frac{25}{100} \\times 200 = Rs. 50$<\/p>\n

Marked price of 4 items = $4 \\times 100$ = Rs. 400<\/p>\n

Amount saved on buying 4 items = $\\frac{43}{100} \\times 400 = Rs. 172$<\/p>\n

Thus, on buying 6 items, total amount saved = 50 + 172 = Rs. 222<\/p>\n

Total marked price of 6 items = $6 \\times 100$ = Rs. 600<\/p>\n

$\\therefore$ Effective discount = $\\frac{222}{600} \\times 100$<\/p>\n

= $\\frac{222}{6} = 37 \\%$<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (A)<\/p>\n

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

The milkman adds $(\\frac{1}{5})^{th}$ of water, thus total mixture = $1+\\frac{1}{5} = \\frac{6}{5}$<\/p>\n

Cost price per litre of the mixture = $\\frac{25}{\\frac{6}{5}} = 25 \\times \\frac{5}{6} = Rs$ $20.83$<\/p>\n

Selling price per litre = Rs. 29<\/p>\n

$\\therefore$ Profit % = $\\frac{29-20.83}{20.83} \\times 100$<\/p>\n

= $\\frac{817}{20.83} \\approx 39.2\\%$<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (B)<\/p>\n

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

Let cost price of the machine = Rs. $x$ lakhs<\/p>\n

When selling price = Rs. 43 lakhs<\/p>\n

=> Loss = Rs. $(x – 43)$ lakhs<\/p>\n

If selling price = Rs. 53 lakhs<\/p>\n

=> Profit = Rs. $(53 – x)$ lakhs<\/p>\n

According to ques, Profit = 7 $\\times$ loss<\/p>\n

=> $(53 – x) = 7 \\times (x – 43)$<\/p>\n

=> $53 – x = 7x – 301$<\/p>\n

=> $7x + x = 301 + 53 = 354$<\/p>\n

=> $x = \\frac{354}{8} = $ Rs. $44.25$ lakhs<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (D)<\/p>\n

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

Marked price of item = Rs. 200<\/p>\n

Amount saved on buying 1 item = $\\frac{5}{100} \\times 200 = Rs. 10$<\/p>\n

Marked price of 2 items = $2 \\times 200$ = Rs. 400<\/p>\n

Amount saved on buying 2 items = $\\frac{14}{100} \\times 400 = Rs. 56$<\/p>\n

Thus, on buying 3 items, total amount saved = 10 + 56 = Rs. 66<\/p>\n

Total marked price of 3 items = $3 \\times 200$ = Rs. 600<\/p>\n

$\\therefore$ Effective discount = $\\frac{66}{600} \\times 100$<\/p>\n

= $\\frac{66}{6} = 11 \\%$<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (C)<\/p>\n

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

Cost price = Rs. 3600\u00a0for 8 quintals<\/p>\n

Quantity of rice with the trader after transportation lost = $\\frac{100 – 10}{100} \\times 8$<\/p>\n

= $\\frac{36}{5}$ = 7.2 quintals<\/p>\n

To have 15% profit, total selling price of the trader should be = $\\frac{115}{100} \\times 3600$<\/p>\n

= Rs. 4140<\/p>\n

$\\therefore$ Selling price per quintal = $\\frac{4140}{7.2} = Rs$ $575$<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (C)<\/p>\n

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

For the wholesaler,<\/p>\n

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

With profit of 33%, Selling price = $\\frac{133}{100} \\times 100x = Rs. 133x$<\/p>\n

For the retailer,<\/p>\n

Cost price = Rs. $133x$<\/p>\n

With a loss of 20%, Selling price = $\\frac{80}{100} \\times 133x = Rs. 106.4x$<\/p>\n

For the customer,<\/p>\n

Cost price = $106.4x = 2181.2$<\/p>\n

=> $x = \\frac{2181.2}{106.4} = 20.5$<\/p>\n

$\\therefore$ Cost price for retailer = $100 \\times 20.5 = Rs. 2050$<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (A)<\/p>\n

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

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

Selling price of a shoe = $Rs. y$<\/p>\n

=> Selling price of 5 shoes = $Rs. 5y$<\/p>\n

According to ques, => $21(y – x) = 5y$<\/p>\n

=> $21y – 21x = 5y$<\/p>\n

=> $16y = 21x$<\/p>\n

=> $\\frac{x}{y} = \\frac{16}{21}$<\/p>\n

Let Cost price,\u00a0$x = 16$ and selling price, $y = 21$<\/p>\n

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

= $\\frac{21 – 16}{16} \\times 100$<\/p>\n

= $\\frac{125}{4} = 31.25\\%$<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (A)<\/p>\n

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

Given that the Cost Price of 75 articles = Rs.10800
\nLet the Selling Price of each article = Rs.x
\nThen, Selling Price of 75 articles = Rs.75x
\nSelling Price of 5 articles = Rs.5x
\n=> 10800 – 75x = 5x
\n=> 80x = 10800
\n=> x = 135
\nTherefore, Selling Price of each article = Rs.135<\/p>\n
