Question Detail
A fruit seller sells mangoes at the rate of Rs.9 per kg and thereby loses 20%. At what price per kg, he should have sold them to make a profit of 5%
- Rs 8.81
- Rs 9.81
- Rs 10.81
- Rs 11.81
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
85 : 9 = 105 : x
x= (9×105/85)
= Rs 11.81
1. A man bought an article and sold it at a gain of 5 %. If he had bought it at 5% less and sold it for Re 1 less, he would have made a profit of 10%. The C.P. of the article was
- Rs 100
- Rs 150
- Rs 200
- Rs 250
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let original Cost price is x
Its Selling price = 105/100 * x = 21x/20
New Cost price = 95/100 * x = 19x/20
New Selling price = 110/100 * 19x/20 = 209x/200
[(21x/20) - (209x/200)] = 1
=> x = 200
2. A book was sold for Rs 27.50 with a profit of 10%. If it were sold for Rs. 25.75, then would have been percentage of profit and loss ?
- 2% Profit
- 3% Profit
- 2% Loss
- 3% Loss
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Please remember
\begin{aligned}
S.P. = \left( \frac{100+gain\%}{100} * C.P \right)\\
\text{So, C.P. = }\left( \frac{100}{110} * 25.75 \right)\\
\text{When S.P. = 25.75 then } \\
Profit = 25.75 - 25 = Re. 0.75 \\
Profit\% = \frac{0.75}{25} * 100 = 3\%
\end{aligned}
3. A pair of articles was bought for Rs. 37.40 at a discount of 15%. What must be the marked price of each of the articles ?
- Rs15
- Rs 20
- Rs 22
- Rs 25
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
As question states that rate was of pair of articles,
So rate of One article = 37.40/2 = Rs. 18.70
Let Marked price = Rs X
then 85% of X = 18.70
=> X = 1870/85 = 22
4. A plot is sold for Rs. 18,700 with a loss of 15%. At what price it should be sold to get profit of 15%.
- Rs 25300
- Rs 22300
- Rs 24300
- Rs 21300
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
This type of question can be easily and quickly solved as following:
Let at Rs x it can earn 15% pr0fit
85:18700 = 115:x [as, loss = 100 -15, Profit = 100 +15]
x = (18700*115)/85
= Rs.25300
5. A producer of tea blends two varieties of tea from two tea gardens one costing Rs 18 per kg and another Rs 20 per kg in the ratio 5 : 3. If he sells the blended variety at Rs 21 per kg, then his gain percent is
- 12%
- 13%
- 14%
- 15%
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Suppose he bought 5 kg and 3 kg of tea.
Cost Price = Rs. (5 x 18 + 3 x 20) = Rs. 150.
Selling price = Rs. (8 x 21) = Rs. 168.
Profit = 168 - 150 = 18
So, Profit % = (18/150) * 100 = 12%
