Answers :
1) Answer: D
Ratio of the cost price of mobile, laptop and computer = 5: 9: 6
Cost price of computer = 100/120 * 14400 = 12000
Cost price of mobile = 5/6 * 12000 = 10000
Cost price of laptop = 9/6 * 12000 = 18000
Difference = 18000 – 10000 = 8000
2) Answer: E
Total cost price = 20 x 45 + 30 x 40
= 900 + 1200
= Rs.2100
Selling price of rice = 20/2 x 45 x 120/100 + 10/2 x 45 x 95/100 + 5 x 45 x 125/100
= 540 + 213.75 + 281.25
= Rs.1035
Selling price of wheat = 30 x 40 x 110/100 = Rs.1320
Total selling price = 1035 + 1320 = Rs.2355
Profit percent = (2355 – 2100)/2100 x 100
= 255/2100 x 100
= 12.14%
3) Answer: E
2x – x = 2000
x = 2000
MP = 2 * 2000 = 4000
CP = 2000
4000 * (100 – x)/100 = 2000 * 125/100
100 – x = 62.5
x = 37.5%
4) Answer: A
According to the question,
800 * [(100 + x) / 100] + 800 * (75 / 100) = 1600
800 + 8x + 600 = 1600
8x + 1400 = 1600
8x = 200
x = 25
5) Answer: C
MP of mobile = 6x
SP of mobile = 5x
Mp of laptop = 12x
SP of laptop = 12x * 83.33/100 = 12x * 5/6 = 10x
10x – 5x = 10000
= > 5x = 10000
= > x = 2000
Marked price of laptop = 2000 * 12 = 24000
Cost price of laptop = 24000/160 * 100
= Rs.15000
6) Answer: B
CP = 10 * 120 = Rs.1200
25% of the apple = 25/100 * 120 * 8 = Rs.240
Remaining apple = 120 – 30 = 90
50% of the remaining = 90 * 50/100 * 12 = Rs.540
Remaining apple = 45 * 10 = Rs.450
Total selling price = 450 + 240 + 540 = 1230
Profit = 1230 – 1200 = 30
7) Answer: B
x * 120/100 * 125/100 * 115/100 = 1725000
x = 1000000
8) Answer: C
Let the cost price be Rs. 100,
CP1 = 100, CP2 = 100, Total cost price = 200
Total selling price = 100 * (140/100) + [100 – 40 * (1/4)] = 230
Profit % = (30/200) * 100 = 15 %
9) Answer: E
Let the cost price of the article be Rs. x.
3378 – x = x – 2922
x = C.P. = (3378 + 2922)/2 = Rs. 3,150
S.P = 1.3 * 3150 = Rs. 4,095
10) Answer: B
CP = x
MP = x * 150/100 = 3x/2
SP = 3x/2 * 80/100 * 85/100
= 51x/50
Required percentage = ([51x/50] – x)/x * 100
= 1/50 * 100 = 2%
