Answers :
1) Answer: C
CP = 50
MP = 50 * 120/100 = 60
Discount = 60 * 5/100 = 3
Total discount = 3 * 19 = 57
2) Answer: C
Cost price of the mobile=x
2800 – x=x – 2400
2x=5200
x=2600
3) Answer: D
CP of printer for Mona = x
ATQ,
X* (100+20)/100 = 2400
X = 5/6 * 2400
X = 2000
So, CP of printer for Mona = 2000
To make a profit of 60%,
SP = [(100+60)/100] * 2000= Rs. 3200
4) Answer: B
CP =12000 * 100/120=10000
MP=10000 * 125/100=12500
5) Answer: D
S.P of 8 articles = C.P of 10 articles
S.P of 1 article = C.P of (5/4) article
Let C.P of 1 article be Rs 4
S.P of 1 article = (5/4)*4 = Rs. 5
So, percentage profit = ((5 – 4)/4)*100% = 25%
6) Answer: B
CP = x
MP = x * 150/100 = 3x/2
SP = 3x/2 * 80/100 * 85/100
= 51x/50
Required percentage = ([51x/50] – x)/x * 100
= 1/50 * 100 = 2%
7) Answer: C
Let MP=5x
CP=3x
Discount= d
5x * (100 – d)/100=3x * 120/100
500 – 5d=360
D = 28%
8) Answer: D
Total SP=6000 + 6000 =Rs. 12000
CP of the first mobile=100/120 * 6000=Rs. 5000
CP of second mobile=100/80 * 6000=Rs. 7500
Total CP=5000 + 7500=Rs. 12500
Loss=12500 – 12000=Rs.500
9) Answer: A
MP=250
CP=4/5*250=200
250*(100-x)/100=200+20
x=12%
10) Answer: E
Let CP = x
106% * (x) – 80%* (x) = 100
26% * (x) = 100
x = 10000/26
x = 384.61

Answers :
11) Answer: A
MP of table = Rs.4000
CP of table = x
SP of table = 150/100 * x = 3x/2
3x/2 = 4000 * 90/100 * 85/100 * 80/100
3x/2 = 2448
x = Rs.1632
12) Answer: E
Cost price of the article is Rs. 127500
Marked price of the article = 160/100 x 127500 = 204000
S.P of the article = C.P of the article for P = 85/100 x 204000 = 173400
the S.P of the article sold by P to Q = 173400 x 140/100
Thus, the S.P of the article sold by P to Q is Rs 242760.
13) Answer: C
SP of Table = 5x * 120/100 = 6x
SP of chair = 4x * 115/100 = 4.6x
6x – 4.6x = 280
1.4x = 280
x = 200
CP of table = 200 * 5 = 1000
14) Answer: C
SP of mobile = Rs.6000
MP of mobile = 5x
CP of mobile = 3x
5x * 80/100 = 6000
x = 1500
CP of mobile = 3 * 1500 = Rs.4500
Profit percentage = (6000 – 4500)/4500 * 100 = 33.33%
15) Answer: A
MP = 5x
CP = 4x
SP = 5x * 90/100
SP = Rs.6300
5x * 90/100 = 6300
x = 1400
CP = 1400 * 4 = 5600
Profit earned by shopkeeper = 6300 – 5600 = 700
16) Answer: B
If 100 toys are manufactured, then 10 will be rejected.
Total SP of 90 toys = 90 * 150 = 13500
Total CP of 100 toys = 13500 * 100/135 = Rs.10000
Manufacturing cost per toy = 10000/100 = Rs.100
17) Answer: D
CP = x
MP = x * 125/100 = 5x/4
SP = 5x/4 * 85/100 = 17x/16
17x/16 – x = 250
x/16 = 250
x = 4000
18) Answer: A
Let the CP be Rs.100.
MP = Rs.140 and SP = 85/100 * 140 = Rs.119
He cheats by giving 10% less in weight.
CP = 100 * 90/100 = Rs.90
Profit % = (119 – 90)/90 * 100 = 32.22% ≈ 32%
19) Answer: E
CP of the mobile = x
2 * (x – 15000) = (19200 – x)
2x – 30000 = 19200 – x
3x = 49200
x = 16400
20) Answer: D
Let the cost price of the item be x,
According to the question,
120 % of x – 90 % of x = 900
30 % of x = 900
30x/100 = 900
x = (900 * 100)/30
x = 3000
Cost price of the item = Rs. 3000

Profit and Loss Questions For Online Mock Test
Answers :
21) Answer: A
Let assume, CP = x
MP = x * 125/100 = 5x/4
5x/4 + x = 5760
9x = 5760 * 4
x = 2560
MP of the article = 5 * 2560/4 = Rs.3200
SP = 3200 * 84/100 = 2688
Profit = 2688 – 2560 = Rs.128
Profit percentage = 128/2560 * 100 = 5%
22) Answer: B
CP of mobile = 31920 * 100/70 = Rs.45600
SP of mobile = 45600 * 130/100 = Rs.59280
CP of watch = 23850 * 100/45 = Rs.53000
Difference = 59280 – 53000 = Rs.6280
23) Answer: B
CP of the mobile = x
MP of the mobile = x + 800
SP of the mobile = (x + 800) * 85/100
(x + 800) * 85/100 = x * 110/100
85x + 68000 = 110x
x = 2720
MP of mobile = 2720 + 800 = Rs.3520
24) Answer: A
CP of chair = 4x
MP of chair = 5x
SP of Chair = 5x – 100
5x – 100 = 4x * 112.5/100
0.5x = 100
x = 200
CP of chair = 4 * 200 = 800
MP of table = 800 * 145/100 = Rs.1160
25) Answer: E
CP = 4x
MP = 4x * 125/100 = 5x
SP = 5x * 85/100 = 4.25x
4.25x – 4x = 5000
x = 20000
MP = 5 * 20000 = 100000
Discount = 100000 * 15/100 = Rs.15000
26) Answer: C
CP of TV = 4x
MP of the TV = 4x * 125/100 = 5x
5x * 80/100 * 85/100 = 13600

CP of TV = 4 * 4000 = 16000
27) Answer: A
CP of a mobile = x
CP of a laptop = y
4x = 3y
CP of 5 laptops = 5 * (4x/3) = 20x/3
20x/3 + 7x = 12300
41x = 12300 * 3
x = 900
CP of a laptop = 4 * 900/3 = 1200
Required sum = 12 * 900 + 7 * 1200
= Rs.19200
28) Answer: A
5x – 3x = 12
x = 6
CP of Pencil = 6 * 3 = Rs.18
SP of Pencil = 18 * 90/100 = Rs.16.2
29) Answer: B
CP of mobile = x
CP of laptop = 9900 – x
SP of laptop = (9900 – x) * 92/100
SP of mobile = x * 110/100
x * 10/100 = (9900 – x) * 8/100
10x = 79200 – 8x
x = 4400
30) Answer: D
CP of AC = 5x
MP of AC = 5x * 120/100 = 6x
SP of AC = 5x * 115/100 = 5.75x
6x – 500 = 5.75x
x = 2000
SP of AC = 5.75 * 2000 = Rs.11500

31) Answer: B
MP of shirt = x
SP of shirt = x * 90/100 * 80/100 = 0.72x
Discount = x – 0.72x = 0.28x
Profit = 0.28x/10 = 0.028x
CP of shirt = 0.72x – 0.028x = 0.692x
Required percentage = 0.028x/0.692x * 100
= 4%
32) Answer: A
Discount of mobile and watch = 15000 – 9000 = 6000
3x + x = 6000
x = 1500
Discount of watch = 1500 * 3 = 4500

CP of TV = 100x
MP of TV = 100x *140/100= 140x
140x – 1200 = 100x *120/100
20x = 1200
x = 60
MP of TV = 60 * 140 = Rs.8400
37) Answer: B
CP of TV of Ram = x
CP of TV of Janu = y
x * 90/100 = y * 130/100
=>x: y = 13: 9
38) Answer: A
SP of radio = 1800
CP of radio = 1800 * 100/125 = 1440
Profit = 1800 – 1440 = 360
New SP = 1440 * 90/100 = 1296
Loss = 1440 – 1296 = 144
Required percentage = 144/360 * 100
= 40%
39) Answer: B
MP of laptop = 100/80 * 14400 = 18000
MP of mobile = 18000 * 1/3 = 6000
SP of mobile = 6000 * 90/100 = 5400
CP of mobile= 5400 * 100/120 = 4500
40) Answer: D
CP = 100x
MP = 100x * 160/100 = 160x
Original selling price = 160x * 80/100 * 85/100 = 108.8x
New selling price = 160x * 75/100 = 120x
120x – 108.8x = 28
x = 2.5
CP of the pen = 100 * 2.5 = 250

Profit and Loss Questions For Online Mock Test
Answers :
41) Answer: A
CP * 150/100 * 90/100 * 80/100 = CP + 960
0.08 CP = 960
CP = 12000
MP = 12000 * 150/100
= 18000
42) Answer: E
MP of cycle = Rs.2800
MP of Watch = Rs.3000
SP of Cycle = 2800 – 800 = Rs.2000
Discount of watch = 800 * 100/80 = Rs.1000
SP of watch = 3000 – 1000 = Rs.2000
Difference = 2000 – 2000 = 0
43) Answer: E
2400 – CP = (CP – 1700) * 75/100
9600 – 4CP = 3CP – 5100
7CP = 14700
CP = 2100
Required SP = 2100 * 120/100 = Rs.2520
44) Answer: D
12 * 75/100 = CP * 120/100
CP = Rs.7.5
Required percent = (10 – 7.5)/7.5 * 100
= 33(1/3)%
45) Answer: E
Let SP of mobile = 500x
SP of laptop = 500x * 140/100 = 700x
SP of watch = 500x * 60/100 = 300x
700x – 500x = 4000
x = 20
SP of watch = 300 * 20 = Rs.6000
SP of mobile = 500 * 20 = Rs.10000
Average = (6000 + 10000)/2 = 16000/2 = 8000
46) Answer: A
MP of Dress A = x
CP of Dress B = 840/1.2 = Rs.700
CP of Dress A = 1.05 * 700 = Rs.735
=> 735 + 525 = (100 – 10)% of x
=> x = Rs.1400
47) Answer: B
Let marked price = Rs.100
SP = 100 * 88/100 = Rs.88
CP = 88/110 * 100 = Rs.80
New selling price = 100 * 90/100 = Rs.90
New profit = 90 – 80 = Rs.10
Profit % = 10/80 * 100 = 12.5%
48) Answer: D
Overall profit = 25/100 * (3600 + 3000) = 1650
Profit on Watch = 3600 * 20/100 = 720
Profit on Pendrive = 1650 – 720 = 930
x = 930/3000 * 100
= 31%
49) Answer: C
SP of one eraser = 252/15 = 16.8
CP of eraser = X
X * 120/100 * 87.5/100 = 16.8
X = 16
50) Answer: B
SP of t-shirt= 675
Discount = a
Profit = a – 150
MP = 3x
CP = 2x
675 = 3x – a
675 = 2x + a – 150
675 = 2x + (3x – 675) – 150
5x = 1500
x = 300
Discount = 3 * 300 – 675 = Rs.225
