Question Detail
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
1. 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%
2. The cost price of 20 articles is the same as the selling price of x articles. If the profit is 25% then determine the value of x.
- 14
- 15
- 16
- 17
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the cost price 1 article = Re 1
Cost price of x articles = x
S.P of x articles = 20
Gain = 20 -x
\begin{aligned}
=> 25 = \left( \frac{20-x}{x} * 100 \right) \\
=> 2000 - 100x = 25 x \\
=> x = 16
\end{aligned}
3. 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
4. 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}
5. 100 oranges are bought at the rate of Rs. 350 and sold at the rate of 48 per dozen. The percentage of profit is
- \begin{aligned} 12\frac{2}{7} \% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 13\frac{2}{7} \% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 14\frac{2}{7} \%\end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 15\frac{2}{7} \% \end{aligned}
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
So before solving this question we will get the C.P. and S.P. of 1 article to get the gain percent.
C.P. of 1 orange = 350/100 = Rs 3.50
S.P. of one orange = 48/12 = Rs 4 [note: divided by 12 as 1 dozen contains 12 items]
Gain = 4 - 3.50 = Rs 0.50
\begin{aligned}
Gain\% = \frac{0.50}{3.50}*100 \\
= \frac{100}{7}\%
= 14\frac{2}{7}\%
\end{aligned}
