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

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

Let the Cost Price be Rs.100x
\nThen, Marked Price = 160% of 100x = Rs.160x
\nGiven, Profit = 20%
\nSelling Price = 120% of Rs.100x = Rs.120x
\nDiscount percentage = $\\dfrac{160x – 120x}{160x} \\times 100 = \\dfrac{40x}{160x}\\times100 = 25$%<\/p>\n

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

Let the Marked Price be Rs.100x
\nDiscount = 25% of Rs.100x = Rs.25x
\nSelling Price = Rs.100x – Rs.25x = Rs.75x
\nCost Price = $75x\\times\\dfrac{100}{140} = \\dfrac{Rs.375x}{7}$<\/p>\n

Required percentage = $\\dfrac{100x – \\dfrac{375x}{7}}{\\dfrac{375x}{7}}\\times100 = \\dfrac{325}{375}\\times100 = 86.67$%<\/p>\n

3)\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

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

Total Cost Price = Rs.400+Rs.50 = Rs.450
\nSelling Price = $Rs.450 \\times \\dfrac{120}{100} = Rs.540$
\nDiscount = 10%
\nThen, Marked Price = $540 \\times \\dfrac{100}{90} = Rs.600$<\/p>\n

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

15A = 6S => A : S = 6 :\u00a015
\n2S = 16B => S : B = 16 : 2
\n6B = 15P => B : P = 15 : 6
\nwhere A = Apples, S = Straw berries, B = Bananas and P = Potatoes
\nMultiplying A : S by 16 and S : B by 15,
\nA : S = 96 : 240 and S : B = 240 : 30
\nHence, A : S : B = 96 : 240 : 30
\nMultiplying B : P by 2,
\nB : P = 30 : 12
\nThen, A : S : B : P = 96 : 240 : 30 : 12
\nLet the cost of Apples, Straw berries, Bananas and Potatoes be Rs.96x, Rs,240x, Rs.30x and Rs.12x respectively.
\nGiven, Rs.96x = 20 => x = $\\dfrac{20}{96} = \\dfrac{5}{24}$
\nTherefore, Cost of 1 potato =\u00a0 12x = $12\\times \\dfrac{5}{24} = Rs.2.5$<\/p>\n

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

Given, Marked Price = Rs.80
\nSelling Price = Rs.30
\nDiscount = Rs.80-Rs.30 = Rs.50
\nOne discount = 50%
\n50% of 80 = Rs.40
\nLet the other discount be x%
\n$40 \\times \\dfrac{100-x}{100} = 30$
\n=> 200-2x = 150 => 2x = 50 => x = 25
\nTherefore, The other discount = 25%<\/p>\n

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

MP-discount=SP
\nSP=240*(90\/100)*(95\/100)
\n=Rs 205.2<\/p>\n

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

Mohit’s CP=x
\nMohith’s SP=1.11x
\nRohit’s CP=1.11x
\nRohit’s SP=1.11*1.2x
\nNeha’s CP=1.11*1.2x
\n1.332x=6200
\nx=6200\/1.332
\nx=4654.654<\/p>\n

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

Let the Rekha’s cost price =x
\nRekha’s selling price=1.15x
\nLiza’s cost price=1.15x
\nLiza’s selling price=1.15x
\nMegha’s cost price=1.25*1.15x
\n=1.4375x
\n1.4375x=2875
\nx=2875\/1.4375
\nx=Rs 2000<\/p>\n

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

Here the net change is 10+3 =13%
\nGiven that this 13% change has occurred due to the change in SP i.e SP has decreased by 39
\nSo we can say that 13% of CP=39
\n13*CP\/100 =39
\nCP=3900\/13
\nCP=Rs 300<\/p>\n

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

Given that 1m cost= Rs 110
\nTotal cost price=110*80
\n=8800
\nTotal profit =10%
\nTherefore total SP=1.1 CP
\n=1.1 *8800
\n=Rs 9680
\n75% of cloth=80*(3\/4)
\n=60m
\nIt is sold at 6% profit so CP of 60m cloth=60*110=6600
\nSP of 60m cloth=1.06*6600
\n=Rs 6996
\nSP of remaining cloth= 9680-6996
\n=Rs 2684
\nCP of 20m cloth=20*110=2200
\nProfit percent=((2684-2200)\/2200)*100
\n=484\/22
\n=22%<\/p>\n

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

Let the A’s CP=x
\nA’s SP=1.25x
\nB’s CP=1.25x
\nB’s SP=1.1*1.25x
\nC’s CP=1.1*1.25x
\nC’s SP=0.6*1.1*1.25x
\nD’s CP=0.6*1.1*1.25x=46.20
\n0.825x=46.20
\nx=46.20\/0.825
\nx=Rs 56
\nA’s profit=0.25x=56\/4=14
\nB’s profit=0.125x=7
\nDifference=14-7=Rs 7<\/p>\n

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

MP-discount=SP
\nMP-0.16MP=882
\n0.84MP=882
\nMP=882*100\/84
\nGiven in the second case MP=SP
\nTherefore 1.2CP=SP
\nCP=SP\/1.2
\nCP=(882*100)\/(84*1.2)
\nCP=875<\/p>\n

14)\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

15)\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
