Answer

1. Answer : 1


Explanation :  Quantity of Guava at Shop A = 1200×10100 = 120 kg 


Quantity of Guava at Shop B = 1000×16100= 160 kg


Therefore, Required difference = 160 - 120 = 40 kg


 


2. Answer : 2


Explanation : Cost of Mango at Shop A = 30×1200×24100= Rs. 8640 


Cost of Apple = 40×1200×16100 = Rs. 7680 


Cost of Orange = 20×1200×20100 = Rs.4800 


Therefore, Required Ratio = 8640 : 6780 : 4800  = 9 : 8 : 5 


 


3. Answer : 3 


Explanation : Quantity of Mango at Shop B = 1000×24100 = 240 kg 


Quantity of Mango at Shop A =1200×24100 = 288 kg


 Therefore, Req % = 288×100240 = 120% of the quantity of Mango at Shop A


 


4. Answer : 4 


Explanation : Cost of total fruits at Shop A = Cost of Mango + Cost of Apple + Cost of Guava + Cost of orange + Cost of other fruits


 =1200×24100×30 + 1200×16100×40 + 1200×10100×18 + 1200×20100×20 + 1200×30100×15 


= Rs. 28680 


Cost of Total Fruits at Shop B


=1000×24100×30 + 1000×14100×40 + 1000×16100×18 + 1000×20100×20 + 1000×26100×15


= 7200 + 5600 + 2880 + 4000 + 3900 


= Rs. 23580


Therefore, Req.difference = 28680 - 23580 = Rs.5100


 


5. Answer : 5


Explanation: Quantity of Orange at Shop A = 1200×20100 = 240 kg

And the retailer sells at 5% less than the marked price => S.P = 95%
If S.P of 95% of the retailer costs Rs.19 to customer,so its C.P of 80% will cost 80 x 19/95 = 16
Profit made by the retailer = 19-16 =  Rs.3
