A man buys an item at Rs. 1200 and sells it at the loss of 20 percent. Then what is the selling price of that item

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the C.P. = x,
Then S.P. = (120/100)x = 6x/5
New S.P. = 2(6x/5) = 12x/5

Profit = 12x/5 - x = 7x/5

Profit% = (Profit/C.P.) * 100
=> (7x/5) * (1/x) * 100 = 140 %

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

We Know,

\begin{aligned}
S.P. = \left( \frac{100+gain\%}{100} * C.P \right)\\
=> C.P. = \frac{100}{122.50}* 392 \\
= 320 \\

Profit = 392 -320 = Rs 72
\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}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Gain % = (164.36*100/2400) = 6.84 % = 7% approx

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let the Cost Price of one article = Rs. 1
CP of x articles = Rs. x
CP of 20 articles = 20
Selling price of x articles = 20

Profit = 25% [Given]

\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow \left (\dfrac{SP - CP }{CP}\right ) = \dfrac{25}{100} = \dfrac{1}{4}

& \Rightarrow \dfrac{\left(20-x \right )}{x} = \dfrac{1}{4} \\
& \Rightarrow 80 - 4x = x \\
& \Rightarrow 5x = 80 \nonumber \\
& \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{80}{5} = 16 \\

\end{aligned}
