A) Rs. 400 B) Rs. 420
C) Rs. 460 D) Rs. 480
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 400

Let the cost price of the fruits be 'C.P'

From the given data, after analysis it can be solved as

(121% of C.P) - (125% of 91% of C.P) = 29

121100 C.P  -  125100  x 91100 x C.P = 29121100 - 125 x 91100 x 100 C.P = 29(12100 - 125 x 91) C.P = 290000(12100 - 11375) C.P = 290000725 C.P = 290000C.P = 400

 

Hence, the cost price of the fruits = Rs. 400.

Q:

A & B invest Rs. 1,16,000 & 1,44,000 respectively. B invests for 6 months. At the end of the year, B’s share is Rs. 9000, find the overall profit?

A) Rs. 23,500 B) Rs. 19,780
C) Rs. 21,700 D) Rs. 20,050
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 23,500

Explanation:

Given A & B in partnership

A Invests 116000 for 12 months 

=> A's share = 116000 x 12 = 13,92,000

B Invests for 6 months

=> B's share = 144000 x 6 = 8,64,000

Their Ratio = 1392 : 864 = 29 : 18

Let the Annual profit = P

Given B's share = Rs. 9000

=> 18/47 x P = 9000

=> P = 9000 x 47/18

=> P = 23,500

Hence, Overall profit = P = Rs. 23,500

Q:

Two payments of $10,000 each must be made one year and four years from now. If money can earn 9% compounded monthly, what single payment two years from now would be equivalent to the two scheduled payments?

A) 19296 B) 19396
C) 19496 D) 19596
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 19296

Explanation:

The single equivalent payment will be PV + FV.
FV = Future value of $10,000, 12 months later
 $10,000 *(1.0075)/12
 $10,938.07
PV=  Present value of $10,000, 24 months earlier
 $10,000/(1.0075)24
 $8358.31
The equivalent single payment is
$10,938.07 + $8358.31 = $19,296.38
