Answer Key with Solution ∴ 1112 = x – y ….(2)


Adding both the eqn.
Solution (1-50) => 2x = 2628
1. B => x = Rs. 1314
Profit = 34800 – 25000 = 9800 6. A
% profit = (9800 * 100)/25000 = 39.2% 110% of S.P. = 616
2. C = S.P. = Rs.(616 x 100/110) = Rs.560.
Use shortcut for these type of questions: C.P. = Rs (100/112 x 560)
CP of article = 75 × 100/ [5 – (-10)] (+5 for 5% profit, - = Rs 500
10 for 10% loss) 7. E
So SP at 15% profit = 115/100 * CP = (115/100) * [75 × Loss = (9600 * 5)/100 = 480
100/15] = Rs 575 s.p = 9600 – 480 = 9120
3. D Again, Profit = (9120 * 5)/100 = 456
Loss = (54000 * 8)/100 = Rs. 4320 ∴ s.p = 9120 + 456 = 9576
s.p of bike = 54000 – 4320 = Rs. 49680 Overall Loss = 9600 – 9576 = Rs. 24
Profit = (49680 * 10)/ 100 = Rs. 4968 8. B
s.p of bike = 49680 + 4968 = Rs. 54648 Let c.p = x
Profit = 54648 - 54000 = Rs. 648 s.p = 0.75 * x = 2400
4. D => x = 3200
loss=2% so, Again, Profit = (3200 * 25)/100 = Rs. 800
98%………….3400 s.p = 3200 + 800 = Rs. 4000
100%………..? 9. A
?=(3400×100)/98=3469.34 c.p = 46000
5. A s.p = 12% loss of c.p
Let c.p = Rs x => 12 * 46000/100 = RS. 5520
Profit = Rs y s.p = 46000 – 5520 = Rs. 40480
∴ x + y = s.p Again, Profit = 40480 * 12/100 = Rs. 4857.6
=> 1516 = x + y ….(1) s.p = 40480 + 4857.6 = Rs. 45337.6
When S.P = Rs 1112 then loss = Rs y Loss = 46000 – 45337.6 = Rs. 662.40

10. B On selling each 1600 gms, he makes a profit of Rs 4, so


CP =Rs.(30 x 8 + 10) = Rs.250 on selling 5 * 1600 = 8000 gms or 8 kg, he makes a
SP = Rs. (30 x 5 + 30 x 4) = Rs.270 profit of 5 * 4 = Rs 20
Gain% = (20/250 x 100)% = 8% 15. D
11. B profit 25% = 125, loss 10% = 90. Let SP of each mobile
Total cost price = 2500 + 320 = Rs. 2820 = LCM of (125 and 90) = 2250
Profit = 4089 – 2820 = Rs. 1269 So CP1 = 100/125 * 2250 = Rs 1800, and CP2 = 100/90
% profit = (1269 * 100)/2820 = 45 % * 2250 = Rs 2500
12. D So total SP = 2250+2250 = Rs 4500
Discount=2%=1/50 MP:SP=50:49 Total CP = 1800+2500 = Rs 4300
Profit=40%=2/5=> CP:SP=5:7 So gain% = (4500-4300)/4300 * 100 = 200/43%=4
MP:SP:CP=50:49:35 28/43%
This 35 is the CP of (6+1) hence the CP for 6 will be 30 OR use formula:
(50-30)/30*100= 66 (2/3)% gain/loss% = [100(25 – 10) – 2 (25)(10)] / [(100+25) +
13. A (100-90)] = (1500-500)/215 = + 200/43%
Let the labelled price be Rs.x Then, 16. C
(80% of x)- (70% of x) = 500 Let the costs of the two articles be x and y. Then,
10% of x =500 25% of x = 50% of y
10%………..500 => x/y = 50/25 = 2/1
100%…………? ?= (500 x 100/10) = 5000=x So,x and y must be in the ratio of 2:180 and 40
14. C 17. C
He uses 1600 grams weight instead of 2 kg, means he 120%-100%=20%
makes a profit here. 20%…………………500
That profit% = (2000-1600)/1600 * 100 = 25% 120%…………….?
1 kg or 1000 gm costed him Rs 10. So 1600 gms costs ?=3000
his Rs 16. 18. C
Now on selling each 1600 gms he makes 25% profit. So There is 20% reduction in price. So to keep the total
profit = 25/100 * 16 = Rs 4 amount same, consumption should increase by 20/(100-
20) * 100 = 25%

For 25% (25/100 = 1/4) increase in consumption, =(54-45)/45*100=20%


customer can purchase 5 more pens 23. C
So original price of pens = 4*5 = Rs 20 CP of the article = 8925/1.275 = Rs.7000
So original price of 1 pen = 40/20 = Rs 2 Loss incurred = 7000 – (x-1800) = Rs.(8800 – x)
19. E Profit gained = (x+2700) – 7000 = Rs.(x-4300)
CP of item for first vendor = 960/(100+25)% = Rs.768 (8800-x) = (x-4300)/2
CP of item for second vendor = 960*(100-25)% = 17600-2x=x-4300
Rs.720 3x=21900
Profit for first vendor = 960 – 768 = Rs.192 X=7300
Profit for second vendor = 960 – 720 = Rs.240 24. E
Required Difference = 240 – 192 = Rs.48 Let c.p = 100
20. B Labeled price = (100 * 130)/100 = 130
Let c.p of 1 article = x Discount = (130 * 10)/100 = 13
s.p of 12 articles = c.p of 15 articles = 15x so , s.p = 130 – 13 = 117
∴ s.p of 15 articles = 15 * 15x/12 = 75x/4 ∴ Profit = 117 – 100 = 17
Profit = 75x/4 - 15x = 15x/4 %profit = 17 * 100/100 = 17%
%profit = (15x/4 * 100)/15x = 100/4 = 25% 25. C
21. A 11500×(82/100)×(100/115) = 8200
c.p = 78350 26. D
Marked up price = 78350 * 30/100 = 23505 Total tax = 2.5+2.5 = 5%
s.p = 78350 + 23505 = 101855 Let the original marked price be x. (x*4/5*1.05) –
=> Discount = 101855 * 20/100 = 20371 (x*3/4*1.05) = 84
s.p = 101855 – 20371 = 81484 => x*1.05(4/5-3/4) = 84
Profit = 81484 – 78350 = 3134 => x = Rs.1600
%profit = (3134 * 100)/78350 = 4% 27. D
22. A c.p of an apple = 25
Profit on SP= 1/6 c.p for 12 apple = 12 * 25 = 300
SP:CP=6:5 multiply by 10 for easy calculation= 60:50 Discount = 300 – 250 = 50
60-6 : 50-5=54:45 % Discount = 50 *100/300 = 16.66 = 17%

28. C Now sp = 55+(55×110)/100 = 55+60.50 =115.5


Selling price of 36 apples = Rs.36 33. E
Selling price of 4 oranges = Rs.4 CP of 12 books = 200*12 = Rs. 2400
Loss = 4 SP of 8 books = 8*1.15*200 = Rs.1840
Cost price = 36+4 = 40 MP of each remaining book = 200*1.25 = Rs.250
Loss % = (4/40)×100 = 10% SP of each remaining book = 250*0.88 = Rs.220
29. A SP of each remaining 4 books = 220*4 = Rs.880
Profit on item = (x+30)% of 120 Total SP of 12 books = 1840+880 = Rs.2720
SP = (x+30)% of 120+120 Profit% = (2720 – 2400)*100/2400 = 13.33%
New CP = (100+25)% of 120 = Rs.150 34. C
SP = 150 + (x-20)% of 150 (x+30)% * 120 + 120 = 150 loss= CP-SP
+ (x-20)% of 150 CP of 5=CP of 15- SP of 15
=> 12x + 360 – 15x + 300 = 300 CP of 10=SP of 15=400
=> x = 120 CP of 1 =40

Cp:mp = 3x:5x = 300 : 500 CP of the article = 540/1.2 = Rs.450

P:d = 5:3 => x = Rs.40
(5x×300)/100 +(3x×500)/100 = 100 36. C
30x = 100 Two successive discounts of 8% = [ 8+8-(8*8/100)]% =

s.p = 80 – 8 = 72
Loss = 100 – 72 = 28
% Loss = 28 * 100/100 = 28%
42. B
c.p = 11250
Extra money spent = 150 + 800 = 950
39. A Total c.p = 11250 + 950 = 12200
Let c.p = x and profit = y Profit (15%) = 12200 * 15/100 = 1830
s.p = x + y s.p = 12200 + 1830 = 14030
=> 1754 = x + y....(1) 43. B
Again, when loss is y (8*56 + 32*69 + 25*75)/ 65 = 69.70
=> 1492 = x – y....(2) (69.70/100) * 120 = 83.64
Adding both equations; 2x = 3246 44. D
=> x = 1623 Let c.p = x and profit = y
40. C s.p = x + y
Gain – 28% CP………SP => 878 = x + y....(1)
. 100………128 => 636 = x – y....(2)
Discount 11(1/9)% = 1/9 => 2x = 1514

41. C
Let the MP be x.
Let labelled price = 100
And CP be y. 1.8y = 0.8x —-(1)
Discount = 100 * 20 /100 = 20
And 1.5y = 0.8x – 240 —-(2)
c.p = 100 – 20 = 80
Now, 1.8y = 1.5y + 240
Loss = 80 * 10/100 = 8
=> y = Rs.800

So, x = (1.8*800)/0.8 = 1800 => x = 1800

Let the CP of both the article be Rs.x. 50. A
SP of X = 108% of x = Rs.108x Profit on calculator = (250 * 20)/100 = Rs. 50
SP of Y = 340/3% of x = Rs.17x/15 For 10 calculators = 50 * 10 = Rs. 500
MP of X = 1.08x/0.9 = Rs.1.2x Profit on pen = (50 * 10)/100 = 5
MP of Y = 17x/15/0.85 = Rs.4x/3 For 5 pens = 5 * 5 = Rs. 25
Required ratio = 1.2x:4x/3 = 9:10 Total profit = 500 + 25 = Rs. 525

Let original price = Rs.100
20% discount = Rs.20
