A) 444 B) 344

Q:

While purchasing one item costing Rs. 400, I had to pay the sales tax at 7% and on another costing Rs. 6400, the sales tax was 9%. What percent of the sales tax I had to pay, taking the two items together on an average ?

A) 8 + 15/17 B) 2 + 13/17
C) 3 + 2/17 D) 5 + 13/12
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 8 + 15/17

Explanation:

Total sales tax paid = 7% of Rs, 400 + 9% of Rs. 6400

                            =Rs. (7/100)*400 + (9/100)*6400 = Rs. (28 + 576) = Rs. 604. 

 

Total cost of the items = Rs. (400 + 6400) = Rs. 6800.

 

Required percentage =(604/6800*100) % = 81517%.

Q:

The true discount on a bill of Rs. 2160 is Rs. 360. What is the banker's discount?

A) Rs. 432 B) Rs. 422
C) Rs. 412 D) Rs. 442
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 432

Explanation:

F = Rs. 2160

TD = Rs. 360

PW = F - TD = 2160 - 360 = Rs. 1800

True Discount is the Simple Interest on the present value for unexpired time

=>Simple Interest on Rs. 1800 for unexpired time = Rs. 360

Banker's Discount is the Simple Interest on the face value of the bill for unexpired time

= Simple Interest on Rs. 2160 for unexpired time

=(360/1800)* 2160

= (1/5) * 2160

=Rs. 432
