1). Let C.P. per cm = Rs. 1, for 90 cm = Rs. 90
CP for 100 cm = Rs.100, SP for 100 cm = 115
Profit % = [(115-90) /90] × 100 = 27.7%
Answer : c)
2). According to the question, a trader is given more to a customer than for what he is charging because his scale is reading 15% less. That means when the trader is giving 100 units actually, his scale is showing only 85 units.
Let C.P per unit = Rs. 1,
CP for 100 units = Rs. 100 (Actual C.P.)
Actual Revenue earned = 100 + 20%[.: Actual profit = 20%]
= Rs.120 à (S.P. for 85 units according to trader)
C.P. for 85 units = Rs.85 (Wrong C.P)
According to trader, he is selling 85 units for Rs.120
Mark up % = [(120-85) / 85] ×100 = 41.1%
[Note : The trader is charging Rs.120 for 85 units, although he is actually giving 100 units to the customers].
Answer : c)
3). Total CP = (20 ×10) + (35 ×14) = 200 + 490 = 690
Total SP = 13(20 + 35) = 715
% Profit =[ (715 – 690) / 690] × 100 = 3.62%
Answer : b)
4). Total Cost Price = 100 (1/2) + 125 (1/3)
= 50+41.66 = 91.66
Total S.P = 225 × 1 = 225
Profit % =[ (225 – 91.66) / 91.66] × 100 = 145.47%
Answer : b)
5). C.P. of 6 oranges = Rs. 1
S.P. of 6 oranges = 1 + (20 / 100)(1) = 1.2
Rs. 1.2 is SP for 6 oranges.
Rs. 1 is SP for (6/1.2) × (1) = 5 oranges.
Answer : c)
6). Let C.P per pen = Rs. x
C.P. for 30 pens = 30x
CP for 10 pencils = 600 – 30x
(10/100)(30x) + (20/100)(600 – 30x) = 90
3x + 120 – 6x = 90
30 = 3x
x = 10
Answer : d)
7). Profit of 5% = 25
(5 /100) CP = 25, CP = 500
Initial S.P = 500 × (110 / 100) = 550
New S.P = 550 + 25 = 575 or 500 × (115 / 100) = Rs. 575
Answer : c)
8). 16.67 % = 1/6
Let C.P. = 120, then marked Price = 140
To make a profit of 5 %, Selling Price should be 120 × (105 / 100) = 126
Hence, 140 – (x / 100) (140) = 126
14 = (7/5 ) x à x = 10, a maximum discount of10% can be given, so that the shopkeeper still makes a profit of 5%.
Answer : c)
9). Let M.P = 100, then S.P. = (85 / 100) × 100 = 85
C.P = 85 × (100 / 98) = 86.73
Mark up above Cost Price = [(100 – 86.73) / 86.73 ] × 100 = 15.3%
Answer : c)
10). Let MP = 100, CP for A = 90, SP for A
= 90 × (120 / 100) = 108
SP is 8% above the Marked Price.
