Q:

A shop keeper sells an article at a loss of 8%, but when he increases the selling price of the article by Rs. 164 he earns a profit of 2.25% on the cost price. If he sells the same article at Rs. 1760, what is his profit percentage?

A) 2.5% B) 5%
C) 10% D) 7.5%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 10%

Explanation:

According to the given data,

Let Cost price of the article be 'cp'

Then,

102.25 cp - 92 cp = 164 x 100

10.25 cp = 16400

cp = 1600

Now, if he sells at Rs. 1760

Profit = 1760 - 1600 = 160

 

Profit% = 160/1600 x 100 = 10%.

Q:

At an examination in which maximum marks are 500. K got 10% less than L, L got 25% more than M and M got 20% less than N. If K got 360 marks what percentage of marks was obtained by N ?

A) 80 B) 87
C) 78 D) 76
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 80

Explanation:

Let marks obtained by N = x

M's marks = 0.80x

L's marks = 1.25 (0.80x)

K's marks = (0.90) (1.25) (0.80x)

= 0.9x

But 0.9x = 360 ⇒ x = 400

Percentage of Marks obtained by N

= 400 x 100/500 = 80%

Q:

A, B and C started a company where their initial investments was in the ratio of 2:3:4. At the end of 6 months, A invested an amount such that his total capital became equal to B's initial capital investment. If the annual profit of B is Rs. 3000 then what is the total profit of the company ?

A) Rs. 9500 B) Rs. 10600
C) Rs. 7500 D) Rs. 8900
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 9500

Explanation:

Given initial investments ratio = 2 : 3 : 4

At the end of 6 months, A invested an amount such that his total capital became equal to B's initial capital investment

i.e, upto 6 months A's investment is 2 and after 6 months his invstment is 3 = B's investment

Now, Ratio of investment for one year

=> A : B : C = (2×6 + 3×6) : (3×12) : (4×12)

= 30 : 36 : 48

= 5 : 6 : 8

But given B's profit = 3000

=> 6 ratio = 3000

For total => 19 ratio = Rs. 9500.
