Question Detail
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
1. In terms of percentage profit, which among following the best transaction.
- C.P. 36, Profit 17
- C.P. 50, Profit 24
- C.P. 40, Profit 19
- C.P. 60, Profit 29
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Hint: Calculate profit percent as
Profit% = (profit/cost) * 100
2. 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
3. A material is purchased for Rs. 600. If one fourth of the material is sold at a loss of 20% and the remaining at a gain of 10%, Find out the overall gain or loss percentage
- \begin{aligned} 4\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 3\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 2\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 1\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
We need to get the Total selling price to solve this question. Because after getting selling price we can get profit or loss, then we can calculate profit% or loss%
So lets solve this:
Price Received by selling one fourth of the material at a loss of 20% =
(1/4) * 600 * (80/100) = Rs. 120
Price Received by remaining material at a gain of 10% =
(3/4) * 600 * (110/100) = Rs. 495 [Note: 1-(1/4) = 3/4]
Total Selling Price = 120 + 465 = Rs. 615
Profit = 615 - 600 = 15
\begin{aligned}
Profit\% = \left( \frac{Gain}{Cost} * 100 \right)\% \\
= \left( \frac{15}{600} * 100 \right)\% \\
= \frac{5}{2}\% = 2\frac{1}{2}\%
\end{aligned}
4. 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
5. 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
