Answers:
1). Ans: C)
110 % of SP = 16302
SP of a mobile = (16302 / 110) * 100 = 14820
CP = (100 / 114) * 14820 = 13000
Cost price of the mobile = Rs. 13000
2). Ans: C)
Suppose, marked price of the article be Rs. X
Then, 85% of x = 119
X × (85 / 100) = 119
X = 119*(20/17) = 140
x = Rs. 140
3). Ans: C)
According to the question,
Profit = Loss
SP1 – CP = CP – SP2
2400 – CP = CP – 1680
2400 + 1680 = 2CP
CP = 4080/2 = 2040
SP = 2040 * (125 /100) = 2040 * (5/4) = Rs. 2550
(Or)
CP = (2400+1680)/2 = 2040
Required SP = 2040*125/100 = Rs.2550
4). Ans: B)
Company Profit % = (60-50)/50*100=100/5 =20 %
Then Dealers Profit % = (80-60)/60*100=100/3 =33 1/3 %
Then Shopkeeper Profit % = (100-80)/80*100 =25 %
Among the three, Dealer gets highest profit %
5).Ans: B)
To take CP = 100
Marked price = 120
120 * 90/100 * 75/100 = 81
Loss = 100 – 81 = 19
19 % of CP = 1900
CP = (100 /19) * 1900 = Rs. 10000
SP = 10000- 1900 = 8100
6). Ans: D
CP of 1 novel = Rs. 4300/50 = Rs.86
Now SP of 50 books = CP of 50 Novels + SP of 7 Novels
=> SP of 43 Novels = 4300
SP of 1 Novel = 4300/43 = Rs.100
Therefore,
Required SP of 1 dozen books = Rs. 1200
7). Ans: B)
Marked Price = Rs. 575
CP = 575 * (100/115) = 500
Profit = Selling Price – 500
And given that, when SP increased by 25%
Let the original selling price be Rs. x,
125/100 * SP – 500 = Profit + 110
5/4 x – 500 = (SP – CP) + 110
5x/4 – 500 = x – 500 + 110
5x/4 – x = 110
(5x – 4x) / 4 = 110
x = 440
Selling price = Rs. 440
8).Ans: B)
CP = Rs. 120
Then SP = 110/100 * 120 = 132
Let the marked price be x,
So, SP = 96 % of Marked price
132 = (96/100)* x
X = 132*(100/96) = 137.5
Required marked price = Rs. 137.5
9). Ans: A)
SP of Hard Disk = 250 * 92/100 * 90/100 = 207
Expense on transport = Rs. 8
CP = 250/165*100 = 152 (Approximately)
Profit % = [(207- (152+8))/(152+8)]*100 = 29%(Approximately)
10). Ans: B)
Let M.P = 100, then S.P. = (82 / 100) × 100 = 82
C.P = 82 × (100 / 97) = 84.5
Mark up above Cost Price = [(100 – 84.5) / 84.5] × 100 = 18.34%
