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

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

Given Profit on selling price is 25%
\nSuppose selling price is y
\nhence profit will be $\\frac{y}{4}$ and cost price will be $\\frac{3y}{4}$<\/p>\n

Now profit percentage on cost price will be \u00a0$\\frac{\\frac{y}{4}}{\\frac{3y}{4}}\\times100$<\/p>\n

i.e.\u00a0$\\frac{100}{3}$ = 33.33<\/p>\n

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

Let M.P. = $100x$<\/p>\n

After allowing 20% discount => $\\frac{20}{100} * 100x = 20x$<\/p>\n

=> Amount after first discount = $100x-20x = 80x$<\/p>\n

After allowing 15% discount => $\\frac{15}{100} * 80x = 12x$<\/p>\n

=> Amount after second discount = $80x-12x = 68x$<\/p>\n

Now, $68x$ = 3060<\/p>\n

=> $x$ = 45<\/p>\n

=> M.P. = 4500<\/p>\n

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

Let number of boys = $100x$ and number of girls = $100y$<\/p>\n

We need to find $\\frac{100x}{100y}$ = $\\frac{x}{y}$<\/p>\n

10% of girls = $\\frac{10}{100} * 100y = 10y$<\/p>\n

1\/20th of boys = $\\frac{1}{20} * 100x = 5x$<\/p>\n

Now, both of these are equal<\/span><\/p>\n

=> $5x = 10y$<\/span><\/p>\n

=> $\\frac{x}{y}$ = $\\frac{2}{1}$<\/span><\/p>\n

=> Required ratio = 2 : 1<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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

If the CP of the chair be Rs. x then,
\nTotal SP = x*0.9 + (500-x)*1.1
\nSo,, x = Rs. 300.<\/p>\n

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

Let the cost price of the goods be Rs 1000\/kg => Re 1\/g<\/p>\n

Selling price = Rs 1000\/850 g => Rs $\\frac{20}{17}$ \/g<\/p>\n

Profit % = $\\frac{\\frac{20}{17} – 1}{1} * 100$ %<\/p>\n

= $\\frac{300}{17} = 17\\frac{11}{17}$%<\/p>\n

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

The vendor buys 4 pens for Rs. 5<\/p>\n

=> Cost price of 1 pen = $\\frac{5}{4}$ = Rs 1.25<\/p>\n

He sells 4 pens for Rs. 3<\/p>\n

=> Selling price of 1 pen = $\\frac{3}{4}$ =\u00a0Rs 0.75<\/p>\n

$\\because$ Selling price is less than Cost price, the vendor suffers a loss<\/p>\n

=> Loss % = $\\frac{(1.25 – 0.75)}{1.25} \\times 100$<\/p>\n

= $\\frac{2}{5} \\times 100 = 40\\%$<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (D)<\/p>\n

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

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

When selling price = Rs. 57 lakhs<\/p>\n

=> Loss = Rs. $(x – 57)$ lakhs<\/p>\n

If selling price = Rs. 67 lakhs<\/p>\n

=> Profit = Rs. $(67 – x)$ lakhs<\/p>\n

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

=> $(67 – x) = 7 \\times (x – 57)$<\/p>\n

=> $67 – x = 7x – 399$<\/p>\n

=> $7x + x = 399 + 67 = 466$<\/p>\n

=> $x = \\frac{466}{8} = $ Rs. $58.25$ lakhs<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (A)<\/p>\n

8)\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

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

Total cost price of bicycle including repairs = 2700+500 = Rs. 3200<\/p>\n

Selling price = Rs. 3520<\/p>\n

=> Profit % = $\\frac{(3520-3200)}{3200}\\times100$<\/p>\n

= $\\frac{320}{32}=10\\%$<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (A)<\/p>\n

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

Let X be the weight of rice sold at 5% profit, then<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow \\frac{105}{100}\\times X + \\frac{111}{100}\\times (1200-x) = \\frac{107}{100} \\times 1200$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow 1.05\\times X + 1.11\\times (1200-X) = 1.07\\times 1200$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow 1.05\\times X – 1.11\\times X = 1.07\\times 1200 – 1.11\\times 1200$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow -0.6\\times X = -480$<\/p>\n

$\\Rightarrow X = 800$<\/p>\n

so the answer is option D.<\/p>\n

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

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

=> Marked price = $100+(\\frac{30}{100}\\times100)$<\/p>\n

= $100+30=Rs.$ $130$<\/p>\n

Discount % = 20%<\/p>\n

=> Selling price = $130-(\\frac{20}{100}\\times130)$<\/p>\n

= $130-26=Rs.$ $104$<\/p>\n

$\\therefore$ Profit % = $\\frac{(104-100)}{100}\\times100=4\\%$<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (D)<\/p>\n

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

Marked price = Rs. 10800<\/p>\n

Discount % = 45%<\/p>\n

=> Selling price = $10800-(\\frac{45}{100}\\times10800)$<\/p>\n

= $(10800-4860)=Rs.$ $5940$<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (D)<\/p>\n

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

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

Profit % = 25%<\/p>\n

=> Selling price = $100+(\\frac{25}{100}\\times100)$<\/p>\n

= $100+25=Rs.$ $125$<\/p>\n

New selling price = $2\\times125=Rs.$ $250$<\/p>\n

=> Profit\u00a0% = $\\frac{(250-100)}{100}\\times100=150\\%$<\/p>\n

=> Ans – (D)<\/p>\n

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

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

Selling price is =\u00a0$2500\\times\\left(1.20\\right)\\times\\left(1-0.25\\right)\\ =\\ 2250\\ Rs.$<\/p>\n

D is correct choice.<\/p>\n
