Q:

A shopkeeper who deals in books sold a book at 16% loss. Had she charged an additional Rs.60 while selling it , her profit would have been 14%. Find the cost price, in rupees, of the book ?

A) Rs. 185 B) Rs. 154
C) Rs. 200 D) Rs. 177
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 200

Explanation:

Let the C.P be 'x'
Then, the selling price S.P = x - 16x/100
= 84x/100 = 21x/25
Now, if the S.P is 60 more, then the profit is 14%
=> 21x/25 + 60 = x + 14x/100
=> 114x/100 - 21x/25 = 60
=> (57 - 42)x/50 = 60
=> 15x/50 = 60
x = 3000/15 = 200

Therefore, the Cost price C.P = x = Rs. 200

Q:

A man could buy a certain number of notebooks for Rs.300. If each notebook cost is Rs.5 more, he could have bought 10 notebooks less for the same amount. Find the price of each notebook ?

A) 15 B) 20
C) 10 D) 8
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 10

Explanation:

Let the price of each note book be Rs.x.

Let the number of note books which can be brought for Rs.300 each at a price of Rs.x be y.

Hence xy = 300

=> y = 300/x

(x + 5)(y - 10) = 300 => xy + 5y - 10x - 50 = xy

=>5(300/x) - 10x - 50 = 0 => -150+x2+5x

multiplying both sides by -1/10x

=> x2+15x-10x-150=0

=> x(x + 15) - 10(x + 15) = 0

=> x = 10 or -15

As x>0, x = 10.

Q:

Total number of students in 3 classes of a school is 333 . The number of students in class 1 and 2 are in 3:5 ratio and 2 and 3 class are 7:11 ratio . What is the strength of class that has highest number of students ?

A) 125 B) 155
C) 135 D) 165
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 165

Explanation:

Ratio C1:C2 = 3:5 and C2:C3 = 7:11
So C1:C2:C3 = 21 : 35 : 55
Let the strength of three classes are 21x, 35x and 55x respectively, then
Given that 21x + 35x + 55x = 333
=> 111x = 333 or x=3
So strength of the class with highest number of students =55x = 55x3 = 165.

A) 5 B) 4
C) 20 D) 28
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 20

Explanation:

Given (2a + 3b)/(5a - 3b) = 23/5
=> 10a + 15b = 115a - 69b
=> 105a = 84b => 5a = 4b
a/b = 4/5 => a=4 & b=5
=> bxa = 5x4 = 20.
