Q:

A sweet seller sells 3/5th part of sweets at a profit of 10% and remaining at a loss of 5%. If the total profit is Rs 1500, then what is the total cost price of sweets ?

 A) Rs.37,500 B) Rs.36,400 C) Rs.37,415 D) Rs.36,500

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs.37,500

Explanation:

Assume A be the cost price.

Therefore,
$\inline \fn_jvn \small \left (\frac{3}{5}xAx\frac{10}{100} \right )-\left ( \frac{2}{5}xAx\frac{5}{100} \right )=1500$

=>  A = Rs 37,500.

Q:

Ajay and Vijay have some marbles with them. Ajay told Vijay "if you give me 'x' marbles, both of us will have equal number of marbles". Vijay then told Ajay "if you give me twice as many marbles, I will have 30 more marbles than you would". Find 'x'  ?

 A) 4 B) 10 C) 8 D) 5

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 5

Explanation:

If Vijay gives 'x' marbles to Ajay then Vijay and Ajay would have V - x and A + x marbles.
V - x = A + x --- (1)
If Ajay gives 2x marbles to Vijay then Ajay and Vijay would have A - 2x and V + 2x marbles.
V + 2x - (A - 2x) = 30 => V - A + 4x = 30 --- (2)
From (1) we have V - A = 2x
Substituting V - A = 2x in (2)
6x = 30 => x = 5.
