If the selling price of 50 articles is equal to the cost price of 40 articles then the loss and gain percent is

0%
20% gain
0%
20% loss
0%
25% loss

Explanation

Let C.P of one article =1 Rs.
Then C.P of 40 article=40 Rs.
According to the question
S.P of 50 article =C.P of 40 article=40 Rs.
We assume that C.P of one article =1Rs.
then C.P of 50 article=50 Rs.
Loss=50-40=10 Rs.
Loss %=

$\frac{10}{50}\times 100=20$ %

Two-third of one-seventh of a number is

$87.5$ % of

$240$ . What is the number?

$1470$

Explanation

Given,

$\dfrac {2}{3}$ of

$\dfrac {1}{7}$ of a number say

$x$ is

$87.5\%$ of

$240$ .

$\therefore \displaystyle \frac{2}{3}\times\frac{1}{7}\times x=\frac{87.5}{100}\times240$

$\displaystyle \Rightarrow x =\frac{87.5\times240\times3\times7}{2\times100}=2205$

therefore, the number is

$2205$ .

Jayant sold two books at Rs 14 each. On one he gains 20% and on the other loses 20%. Then he made

0%
no profit no loss
0%
loss of 4%
0%
gain of 1%
0%
none of these

Explanation

on the first article Jayant gains 20%

so if CP is 100, selling price will be 120 and profit will be Rs20

when selling price is 120 profit is 20

when selling price is 14 profit is

$=\frac { 20 }{ 120 } \times 14=2.33$

cost price =selling price-profit

=14-2.33

=Rs11.67

on second article he losses 20%

so if CP is 100, selling price will be 80 and Loss will be Rs20

when selling price is 80 loss is 20

when selling price is 14 loss is

$=\frac { 20 }{ 80 } \times 14=3.5$

cost price is =selling price+loss

=14+3.5

=17.5

total selling price=14+14=Rs28

total cost price=17.5+11.67=Rs29.17

net loss=29.17-28=Rs1.17

loss percantage=

$=\frac { 1.17 }{ 29.17 } \times 100=4$

he makes a loss of 4%

The list price of a parker pen is Rs 160 and a customer buys it for Rs 122.40 after two successive discounts. If first is 10% then the second is

0%
18%
0%
17%
0%
16%
0%
15%

Explanation

Total discount

$= Rs 160 -Rs 122.40 = Rs 37.60$
1st discount

$= 10\% of Rs 160 = Rs 16$ .
2nd discount

$= Rs 37.60-Rs 16 = Rs 21.60$
Balance after firsr discount

$= Rs 160-Rs 16 = Rs 144$ .
If 2nd discount is

$x\%$ , then

$x\% of Rs 144 =Rs 21.60$ , so

$x =15$ .

When the price of eggs is reduced by 20% it enables a man to buy 20 more eggs for RsThen the reduced price per egg is:

0%
38 paise
0%
40 paise
0%
42 paise
0%
44 paise

Explanation

Let's say Price per egg

$=x$
Number of eggs bought for

$Rs40=$

$\dfrac{40}{x}$
Reduced price of egg

$= x-20\%$ of

$x$

$\Rightarrow x-0.2x=0.8x$
Number of eggs that can be bought=

$\dfrac{40}{0.8x}$
As per question,

$\Rightarrow \dfrac { 40 }{ 0.8x } -\dfrac { 40 }{ x } =20$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac { 40-32 }{ 0.8x } =20$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac { 8 }{ 0.8x } =20$

$\Rightarrow 16x=8$

$\Rightarrow x=2$
Reduced price

$= 2\times \dfrac { 20 }{ 100 } =0.40\ paise$
Hence, the reduced price per egg will be 40 paise as 20% of Rs 2 is 40paise.

By giving a discount of 10% on the marked price of Rs 1,100 of a sewing machine a dealer gains 10%, then the cost price is

0%
Rs 900
0%
Rs 950
0%
Rs 1,000
0%
Rs 1,050

Explanation

Market price

$= 1100$

Discount of

$10\%$ is given on marked price,

So selling price will be

$=1100-1100\times \dfrac { 10 }{ 100 }$

$=\left( 1100-110 \right)$

$=990$

Even after giving discount of

$10\%$ , dealer gains

$10\%$ on cost price,

If selling price is

$110$ , cost price will be

$100$

If selling price is

$990$ , cost price will be

$=\dfrac { 100 }{ 110 } \times 990$

$=900$

Cost price is

$Rs 900$

20,000
0%
12,000

Explanation

Total investment

$= 1,00,000 + 20,000 = 1,20,000$
His earning in 8 months

$= 4,000 \times 8 = 32,000$
Total earnings

$= 1,00,000 + 32,000 -1,20,000 = 1,32,000 -1,20,000 =Rs 12,000$

$\text{If cost price(C.P) is greater than the selling price(S.P), then seller incurred a loss,}$

$\text{and If cost price(C.P) is less than the selling price(S.P), then seller incurred a profit.}$

$\text{Therefore, Statements A,C are correct and D is incorrect.}$

$\textbf{Hence, option D is correct answer.}$

A shopkeeper buys paper at Rs 50 per ream. To gain 20%, the selling price per quire will be (take 1 ream = 20 quires)

0%
Re 1
0%
Rs 2
0%
Rs 3
0%
Rs 5

Explanation

Shopkeeper buys paper at Rs 50 per ream

1 ream=20 quires(given)

20 quires he buys at Rs50

1 quire he buys at=

$Rs\frac { 50 }{ 20 }$

To gain 20 percant, selling price per quire will be

$Rs\left( \frac { 50 }{ 20 } +\frac { 20 }{ 100 } \times \frac { 50 }{ 20 } \right)$

$\left( 2.5+0.5 \right) =Rs3$

If the cost of a pen is

$Rs.\ 12.60$ and the gain was

$10\%$ of the marked price, then the marked price of the pen was

0%
$Rs.\ 15$
0%
$Rs.\ 14$
0%
$Rs.\ 13$
0%
$Rs.\ 12$

Explanation

Let the marked price be

$Rs.\ 100.$

It is given that

$10\%$ gain is made on the marked price.
So,

$Gain=100\times \dfrac { 10 }{ 100 }$

$=Rs.\ 10$

Cost price will be

$100-10=Rs.\ 90.$

When

$Rs.\ 90$ is the cost price marked price is

$Rs.\ 100.$
So, when

$Rs.\ 12.60$ is the cost price marked price will be

$\dfrac { 100 }{ 90 } \times 12.60=Rs.\ 14.$

Hence, option

$B$ is correct.

By selling a T.V for Rs.

Explanation

Let

$CP=x$
Gain

$=\cfrac{12}{100}x=\cfrac{3x}{25}$
SP

$=\cfrac{3x}{25}+x=\cfrac{28x}{25}$

$\Rightarrow$

$\cfrac{28x}{25}+x=\cfrac{28x}{25}$

$\Rightarrow$

$\cfrac{28x}{25}=1,064$

$\Rightarrow$

$x=$ Rs.

Sam purchased

$20$ dozens of toys at the rate of

$Rs. 375$ per dozen. He sold each one of them at the rate of

$Rs. 33$ . What was his percentage profit?

0%
$3.5$
0%
$4.5$
0%
$5.6$
0%
$6.5$

Explanation

Cost Price of

$1$ toy

$= Rs. \left (\dfrac {375}{12}\right ) = Rs. 31.25$
Selling Price of

$1\ toy = Rs. 33$
So,

$Gain = Rs. (33 - 31.25) = Rs. 1.75$

$\therefore Profit$ %

$= \left (\dfrac {1.75}{31.25} \times 100\right )$ %

$= \dfrac {28}{5}$ %

$= 5.6$ %

The cost price of

$20$ articles is the same as the selling price of x articles. If the profit is

$25$ %, then the value of x is:

0%
$15$
0%
$16$
0%
$18$
0%
$25$

Explanation

Let C.P. of each article be

$Re. 1$ C.P. of x articles

$= Rs. x$ .
S.P. of x articles

$= Rs. 20$ .

$Profit = Rs. (20 - x)$ .

$\therefore \left (\dfrac {20 - x}{x}\times 100 = 25\right )$

$\Rightarrow 2000 - 100x = 25x$

$125x = 2000$

$\Rightarrow x = 16$

By selling

$8$ dozen pencils, a shopkeeper gains the selling price of

$1$ dozen pencils. What is the gain?

0%

0%
$13\dfrac {1}{7}\%$
0%
$14\dfrac {2}{7}\%$
0%
$87\dfrac {1}{2}\%$

Explanation

We know that S.P.

$=$ C.P.

$+$ Gain

$\Rightarrow$ S.P. of

$8$ dozen

$=$ C.P. of

$8$ dozen

$+$ S.P. of

$1$ dozen

$\Rightarrow$ S.P. of

$7$ dozen

$=$ C.P. of

$8$ dozen

$\Rightarrow$ By selling

$7$ dozen, he gain

$1$ dozen
Therefore, gain

$\%$

$= \dfrac {1}{7}\times 100\%$

$= 14\dfrac {2}{7}\%$

Can't say

Explanation

In simple interest, the principal amount is

$P$ in compound interest the principal amount is

$P+ I$ (Interest of the previous year)

Since the principal amount in CI is more,

$\cfrac { PRT }{ 100 }$ i.e., interest will be more in C.I

Hence,

$CI>SI$ .

The selling price of goods which cost Rs.

Rs. $15$

Explanation

$\Rightarrow$ Cost price pf goods is Rs.

$10$

$\Rightarrow$ Profit =

$10\%\,$ of Rs.

$10=$ Rs.

A shopkeeper expects a gain of

$22.5\%$ on his cost price. If in a week, his sale was of Rs. 392, what was his profit?

0%
$Rs. 18.20$
0%
$Rs. 70$
0%
$Rs. 72$
0%
$Rs. 88.25$

Explanation

Given that,

$S.P.=Rs.\ 392$ and

$\text{gain}\%=22.5\%$

To find out: profit

We know that,

$C.P.=\dfrac{S.P.\times 100}{100+\text{gain}\%}$

$\therefore \ C.P. = Rs. \left (\dfrac {100}{122.5}\times 392\right ) \\$

$= Rs. \left (\dfrac {1000}{1225}\times 392\right ) \\$

$= Rs. 320\\$

We also know that,

$\text{profit}=S.P.-\ C.P.$

$\therefore \ \text{Profit} = Rs. (392 - 320) \\$

$= Rs. 72$ .

Hence, the profit of the shopkeeper on the sale of

$Rs.\ 392$ is

$Rs.\ 72$ .

A shopkeeper sells some articles at the profit of

The percentage profit earned by selling an article for Rs.

$1920$ is equal to the percentage loss incurred by selling the same article for Rs.

$1280$ . At what price should the article be sold to make

$25$ % profit?

0%
Rs. $2000$
0%
Rs. $2200$
0%
Rs. $2400$
0%
Data inadequate

Explanation

Let C.P. be

$Rs. x$ .
Then,

$\dfrac {1920 - x}{x} \times 100 = \dfrac {x - 1280}{x}\times 100$

$\Rightarrow 1920 - x = x - 1280$

$\Rightarrow 2x = 3200$

$\Rightarrow x = 1600$

$\therefore$ Required

$S.P. = 125$ % of

$Rs. 1600 = Rs. \left (\dfrac {125}{100}\times 1600\right ) = Rs 2000$ .

Explanation

$\text{Compound interest}$ is calculated on both the amount borrowed and any previous interest.

Compound interest is the addition of interest to the principal sum of a loan or deposit, or in other words, interest on interest.

It is the result of reinvesting interest, rather than paying it out, so that interest in the next period is then earned on the principal sum plus previously accumulated interest. Compound interest is standard in finance and economics.

$2575$

Explanation

Interest for first year =

$\cfrac{12000 \times 1 \times 18}{100} = 2160$

Amount after first year =

$12000+2160=14160$

Interest for second year =

$\cfrac{14160 \times 1 \times 18}{100} = 2550(approx)$

Which interest is computed on the sum of an original principal and accrued interest?

0%
Simple interest
0%
Annual interest
0%
Compound interest
0%
Complex interest

Explanation

$\text{Compound interest}$ is computed on sum of original principal and accrued interest.

Conversely, compound interest accrues on the principal amount and the accumulated interest of previous periods; it includes interest on interest, in other words.

It is calculated by multiplying the principal amount by the annual interest rate raised to the number of compound periods, and then minus the reduction in the principal for that year.

$\Rightarrow$

$C.I.=P\left (1+\dfrac{R}{100}\right)^T-P$

$=140-105=35$

Akhilesh bought a house for Rs 9,50,Rs 50,000 was spent on colour. For earning a profit of 14.5%, how much should sell the home for?

0%
$Rs 7,55,000$
0%
$Rs 8,55,000$
0%
$Rs 5,45,000$
0%
None of these

Explanation

Total rupees spent to buy the building and for painting

$=9,50,000+50,000=Rs.\ 10,00,000$

Now,

profit taken for selling of building is more than

$14.5\%$ of total cost of building including painting;

So,

$14.5\%\ of\ 10,00,000$

$= 1000000 \times \dfrac{14.5}{100}$

$= 145000.$

Now,

Selling price of building after gaining profit is

$=10,00,000+1,45,000=Rs.\ 11,45,000$

A trader buys some TVs at

$20\%$ rebate on printed price

$Rs. 18,000.$ For a long time he could not sell any TV. So he sells it by giving a rebate of

$Rs.2700$ on printed price, what amount of profit or loss does he make? How much percentage of rebate does a customer earn?

0%
Profit $=Rs. 500, \ 20\%$ Rebate
0%
Profit $=Rs. 100,\ 25\%$ Rebate
0%
Profit $=Rs. 900,\ 15\%$ Rebate
0%
None of these

Explanation

Given:

Discount

$\text{% = 20}$

Marked Price

$\text{= Rs.18000}$

Discount amount

$=18000\ \times$

$\dfrac{20}{100}$

$=3600$

Cost price

$= 18000-3600$

$= \mathrm{Rs}.14400$

Given:

Further the trader offers a discount of

$= Rs. 2700$

Selling price

$= Rs. 18000 - Rs. 2700$

$= Rs. 15300$

Now, Profit

$= Rs .15300 - Rs. 14400 = Rs. 900$

So, Discount

$\%=\dfrac{discount}{Marked\,Price}\times100$

$=\dfrac{2700}{18000}\times100=15\%$

A saree trader brings some sarees at

$25\%$ rebate on

$Rs 1600$ printed price. He sells each scree at

$Rs 1440$ per piece. What amount of profit or loss does he make? How much percentage of rebate does a customer earn?

0%
$Rs 180$ Profit, $15\%$ Rebate
0%
$Rs 240$ Profit, $10\%$ Rebate
0%
$Rs 100$ Profit, $18\%$ Rebate
0%
None of these

Explanation

$\text{discount % availed by the trader = 25%}$

$\text{Printed price of the saree = Rs 1600}$

$\text{Actual Cost Price of the saree = Rs 1600 - 1600}$

$\times \dfrac{25}{100} = Rs 1600 - 400 = Rs 1200$

$\text{Now Selling price of the saree = Rs 1440.}$

$\text{Profit = Selling price - Cost Price = Rs 1440 - Rs 1200 = Rs 240.}$

$rebate=\text{Print price - selling price}=1600-1440=160$

$rebate\%=\dfrac{rebate}{print\,price}\times100=\dfrac{160}{1600}\times100=10\%$
