Q:

If the selling price of a mat is five times the discount offered and if the percentage of discount is equal to the percentage profit, find the ratio of the discount offered to the cost price.

A) 6:31 B) 11:30
C) 7:30 D) 31:6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 7:30

Explanation:

Since S.P. = 5 (M.P. - S.P.) => 5 M.P. = 6 S.P.
M.P. = (6/5) S.P.
Since the percentage discount = Percentage profit,
65S.P - S.P65S.P×100 = S.P -C.PC.P×100
Therefore, 1/6 = (S.P/C.P) – 1 => S.P = (7/6) C.P
M.P = 6/5 S.P = 6/5 x 7/6 C.P = 7/5 C.P
Therefore, Ratio of discount to C.P
= (M.P – S.P)/C.P = [{(7/5)C.P - (7/6)C.P} / C.P.]
= 7/30

 

Therefore, the ratio is 7 : 30

Q:

Yard is to Inch as Quart is to

A) Milk B) Gallon
C) Liquid D) Ounce
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Ounce

Explanation:

Yard is to Inch as Quart is to Ounce.

Because Yard and Inch are units of measurement Where Yard is larger than Inch i.e, 1 Yard = 36 Inches.

So, here Quart and Ounce are also units of measurement where Quart is larger than Ounce i.e, 1 Quart = 32 Ounces.

Gallon is not correct because Gallon is larger than Quart and Milk and Liquid are not units of measurement.

So, Ounce is correct.
