Q:

Solve 30 + (.0825 x 30) + (15% x 30)

A) 24.750 B) 36.975
C) 34.652 D) 26.354
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 36.975

Explanation:

30 + (.0825 x 30) + (15% x 30)

 

Now

=> 0.0825 x 30 = 2.475 -----(1)

=> 15% of 30 = 450/100 = 4.5 -----(2) 

 

Hence, from (1) & (2)

30 + (.0825 x 30) + (15% x 30)

= 30 + 2.475 + 4.5

30 + (.0825 x 30) + (15% x 30) = 36.975.

II. The total of sum and simple interest was double of the sum after 5 years.

A) I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer B) II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer
C) Either I or II alone sufficient to answer D) Both I and II are necessary to answer
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Both I and II are necessary to answer

Let the sum be Rs. x.

I  gives, S.I. = Rs. 7000 and T = 7 years.

II gives, Sum + S.I. for 5 years = 2 x Sum Sum = S.I. for 5 years.

Now, S.I. for 7 years = Rs. 7000.

therefore, S.I. for 1 year =  Rs. 1000.

Thus, I and II both are needed to get the answer.

Q:

The marked price of an article is increased by 25% and the selling price is increased by 16.66%, then the amount of profit doubles. If the original marked price be Rs. 400 which is greater than the corresponding cost price by 33.33%, what is the increased selling price?

A) Rs. 380 B) Rs. 420
C) Rs. 460 D) Rs. 440
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 420

Explanation:

As given in the question, Marked price is 25% more than the Cost price.

=> C.P of the article = 34 x 400 = 300 

Now, 

Let the original S.P of the article be Rs. P

Now the new S.P = P + 16.666 +13.333300 x P 

=> S.P = 7P6

According to the question,

7P6 - 300 = 2P - 300

=> 5P = 1800

=> P = Rs. 360

Hence, the increased S.P = 360 x 7/6 = Rs. 420.
