Q:

In a certain Business, the profit is 220% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit ?

A) 61%	B) 75%
C) 55%	D) 81%

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 61%

Explanation:

Let C.P.= Rs. 100.

Then, Profit = Rs.220,

S.P. = Rs.320.

New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125

New S.P. = Rs.320.

Profit = Rs. (320 - 125) = Rs. 195

Required percentage = $\frac{195}{320} \times 100$ == 60.9 =~ 61%

Q:

The cost price of 40 Magazines is the same as the selling price of 'P' articles. If the profit is 25%, then the value of 'P' is:

A) 32	B) 40
C) 16	D) 30

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 32

Explanation:

Let C.P. of each Magazine be Rs. 1

C.P. of P articles = Rs. P.

S.P. of P articles = Rs. 40.

Profit = Rs. (40 - P)

Now, Gain% = $\frac{P r o f i t}{C . P} \times 100$ = $\frac{40 - P}{P} \times 100$

Here $\frac{40 - P}{P} \times 100$ = 25

-->P = 32.
