Q:

A Shopkeeper sells two articles at Rs.1000 each, making a profit of 20% on the first article and a loss of 20% on the second article. Find the net Profit or loss that he makes? 

A) 4% B) 5%
C) 6% D) 8%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 4%

Explanation:

SP of first article = Rs.1000

 

Profit = 20%

 CP = SP x 100100+P% = Rs. 25003

SP of Second Article = Rs.1000

 Loss = 20%

 CP = SP x 100100-L% = Rs. 1250

 

So, Total SP = Rs.2000; Total CP = Rs.6250/3

 

As the CP is more than SP, he makes a loss.

 

Loss = CP - SP = (6250/3) - 2000 = Rs.(250/3)

 

So, Loss Percent = Lossx100/CP = 4%

Q:

A and B start a business, with A investing the total capital of Rs.50000, on the condition that B pays A interest @ 10% per annum on his half of the capital. A is a working partner and receives Rs.1500 per month from the total profit and any profit remaining is equally shared by both of them. At the end of the year, it was found that the income of A is twice that of B. Find the total profit for the year?

A) Rs. 39000 B) Rs. 49000
C) Rs. 59000 D) Rs. 69000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 59000

Explanation:

Interest received by A from B = 10% of half of Rs.50000 = 10% of Rs. 25000 = Rs.2500.

Amount received by A per annum for being a working partner = 1500 x 12 = Rs.18000

Let 'P' be the part of the remaining profit that A receives as his share.

So,total income of A = (Rs.2500 + Rs.18000 + Rs. P )

Total income of B = only his share from the remaining profit = 'P', as  A and B share the remaining profit equally.

 

We know that income of A = Twice the income of B 

So, (2500 + 18000 + P ) = 2(P)

P = 20500

 

Thus, the total profit = 2P + Rs.18000

= 2(20500) + 18000 = Rs.59000.
