A wholesale dealer allows a discount of 20 % on the marked price to the retailer. The retailer sells at 5% below the marked price. If the customer pays Rs.19 for an article, what profit is made by the retailer on it ?

A) Rs. 4 B) Rs. 3
C) Rs. 5 D) Rs. 1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 3

Explanation:

Let wholesaler dealers marked price = 100%, Retailer's C.P = 80%
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

A) 1:2 B) 3:2
C) 2:1 D) 2:3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2:1

Explanation:

Given rate of wheat at cheap = Rs. 2.90/kg

Rate of wheat at cost = Rs. 3.20/kg

Mixture rate = Rs. 3/kg

Ratio of mixture = 

          2.90                              3.20

                              3

(3.20 - 3 = 0.20)            (3 - 2.90 = 0.10)

 

0.20 : 0.10 = 2:1

 

Hence, wheat at Rs. 3.20/kg be mixed with wheat at Rs. 2.90/kg in the ratio of 2:1, so that the mixture be worth Rs. 3/kg.
