Q:

In a certain Business, the profit is 220% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit ?

A) 61% B) 75%
C) 55% D) 81%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 61%

Let C.P.= Rs. 100.

Then, Profit = Rs.220, 

S.P. = Rs.320.

 

New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125 

New S.P. = Rs.320.

Profit = Rs. (320 - 125) = Rs. 195

 

Required percentage = 195320×100== 60.9 =~ 61%

Q:

Divide Rs.6500 among A,B and C so that after spending 90% , 75% and 60% of their respective saving were in the ratio of 3: 5: 6

Answer

A's spending 90%              \inline \therefore   saving = 10%


B's spending 75%              \therefore   saving = 25%


C's spending 60%              \inline \therefore   saving = 40%


Let us suppose A, B and C saves Rs. 3.5 and 6 respectively.


\inline \therefore 10% of A's saving = Rs.3


100% of A's saving = \inline \frac{3}{10}\times 100 = Rs. 30


25% of B's saving = Rs. 5


100% of B's saving = \inline \frac{5}{25}\times 100 = Rs. 20


40% of C's saving = Rs.6


100% of C's saving = \inline \frac{6}{40}\times 100 = Rs. 15


Divide Rs. 6500 in the ratio of 30 : 20 : 15 as


A's Share  =  \inline \frac{30}{65}\times 6500 = Rs. 3000


B's Share   = \inline \frac{20}{65}\times 6500 = Rs. 2000


C's Share  = \inline \frac{15}{65}\times 6500 = Rs. 1500
