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

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

We know that CP is cost price<\/p>\n

SP is selling price<\/p>\n

In first condition<\/p>\n

CP of 11 toffee=\u20b910<\/p>\n

CP of 1 fruits = \u20b9 (\u00a0$\\frac{10}{11}$ )<\/p>\n

in second condition<\/p>\n

CP of 9\u00a0 fruits= \u20b9 10<\/p>\n

CP of fruits\u00a0= \u20b9 (\u00a0 $\\frac{10}{9}$ )<\/p>\n

therefore, CP of both fruits = \u20b9 $\\frac{10}{11}$+\u20b9\u00a0$\\frac{10}{9}$<\/p>\n

= \u20b9 $\\frac{200}{99}$<\/p>\n

so, cp of 1 = $\\frac{200}{99}$ \u00f72<\/p>\n

Cost price = \u20b9\u00a0\u00a0$\\frac{100}{99}$<\/p>\n

sp of 1\u00a0 fruits = \u20b9 1(given)<\/p>\n

loss=cost price – selling price<\/p>\n

= $\\frac{100}{99}$ – 1<\/p>\n

Loss = \u20b9\u00a0 $\\frac{1}{99}$<\/p>\n

loss percentage = $\\frac{loss}{cost price}$\u00d7100<\/p>\n

loss (%) =\u00a0$\\frac{1\u00f799}{100\u00f799}$\u00d7100<\/p>\n

loss percent=1% loss<\/p>\n

=1 percent loss<\/p>\n

2)\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

3)\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

4)\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

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

Total Cost Price of the scooter = Rs.40000+Rs.5000 = Rs.45000
\nSelling Price = Rs.54000
\nGain percent = $\\dfrac{54000-45000}{45000}\\times100 = \\dfrac{9000}{45000}\\times100 = 20$%<\/p>\n

6)\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

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

Selling Price of the article = Rs.4000
\nLet the marked price of the article be Rs.100x
\n100x = Rs.4000
\nx = Rs.40
\nSelling price after 10% discount = 90% of Rs.100x = Rs.90x
\nProfit = 20%
\nThen, Cost Price = $90x \\times \\dfrac{100}{120} = Rs.75x = Rs.75*40 = Rs.300$<\/p>\n

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

X can buy 5 kg more rice for Rs.100
\nThen, X can buy 1 kg more rice for Rs.20
\nThen, Reduced price = $Rs.20 \\times \\dfrac{20}{100} = Rs.4$<\/p>\n

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

27 CP = 18 SP
\n$\\dfrac{SP}{CP} = \\dfrac{27}{18} = \\dfrac{3}{2}$
\nSubtracting 1 from both sides
\n=> $\\dfrac{SP}{CP} – 1 = \\dfrac{3}{2} – 1$
\n=> $\\dfrac{SP-CP}{CP} = \\dfrac{3-2}{2} = \\dfrac{1}{2}$
\nMultiplying 100 on both sides
\n=> $\\dfrac{SP-CP}{CP} \\times 100 = \\dfrac{1}{2}\\times 100 = 50$%<\/p>\n

10)\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

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

Let the Cost Price be Rs.100 and Selling Price be Rs.x
\nThen, Profit = Rs.(x – 100)
\nNew Selling Price = Rs.3x
\nThen, New profit = Rs,(3x-100)
\nGiven, 3x-100 = 5(x-100) => 2x = 400 => x = 200
\nHence, Selling Price = Rs.200
\nProfit percentage = $\\dfrac{200-100}{100}\\times100 = 100$%<\/p>\n

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

Total Effective Cost Price = Rs.700+Rs.20 = Rs.720
\nRequired Profit = 12.5% = $\\dfrac{1}{8}$
\nTherefore, Required Selling Price = $Rs.720 +\u00a0\\dfrac{1}{8} \\times 720 = Rs.720+90 = Rs.810$<\/p>\n

13)\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

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

Let the Cost Price be Rs.100x
\nLoss = 20%
\nSelling Price = 80% of 100x = Rs.80x
\nProfit = 5%
\nSelling Price = 105% of 100x = Rs.105x
\nGiven, Rs.105x – Rs.80x = Rs.100
\nRs.25x = Rs.100
\n=> x = 4
\nTherefore, Cost Price = Rs.100x = Rs.100*4 = Rs.400<\/p>\n

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

let CP=x
\nSP=0.95x
\nNew CP=0.9*x
\nNew SP=0.95x+170
\nprofit=20%
\n0.95x+170=1.2(0.9x)
\n0.13x=170
\nx=1307.6
\nx=Rs 1308<\/p>\n
