A) profit,0.95% B) loss,1%

Cost price of A be x and cost price of B be y.

A sold for Rs 1000 on 10 % gain = 1.1x =1000

x= 1000/1.1 = 909.09

B sold for Rs. 1000 on 10% loss = 0.9y =1000y= 1000/0.9 = 1111.11

Total cost price of A and B = 2020.20

Loss % = (2020.20 –2000)/2000 X 100

= 1.01 % loss

Q:

A man’s average monthly expenditure for the first four months of the year was Rs. 231.25. For the next five months, the average monthly expenditure was Rs. 22.75 more than what it was during the first four months. If the person spent Rs. 605 in all during the remaining three months of the year, find what percentage of his annual income of Rs. 3500 did he save in the year?

A) 10% B) 15%
C) 20% D) 25%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 20%

Explanation:

A man's average monthly expenditure for the first four months of the year = Rs.231.25.
For four month = 231.25 * 4 = Rs. 925
For next five month he spend = 231.25 + 22.75 for one month.
In five month he spend = (231.25 + 22.75) X 5 = 1270
If the person spent Rs. 605 in all during the remaining three months of the year,
Total expense = 925+1270+605= 2800
Saving = 3500-2800 = 700
% saving = 700/3500 * 100 = 20%

Q:

A woman suffered 20% loss on first investment and made 10% profit at second investment and 12 ½% profit on the third investment. If the invested amount be in the ratio of 4 : 5 : 3, find her profit percentage?

A) 0.625% B) 1.205%
C) 0.987% D) 0%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 0.625%

Explanation:

From the given data,

let the amounts invested be 4p, 5p and 3p

Net profit = Total profit - Total loss

= 10x5p/100 + 25x3p/200 - 20x4p/100

= 0.875p - 0.8p

= 0.075p

Therefore, profit% = (Net profit/Total investment) x 100

= 0.075 x 100/12 

= 0.0625%
