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

x = 4000

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

Answers :

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


33) Answer: D

4x * 125/100 = 30

x = 6

SP of Pen = 7 * 6 = Rs.42

CP of Pen = 42 * 100/120 = 35


34) Answer: B

(CP – 1800)/CP * 100 = 50/100 * ((2100 – CP)/CP) * 100

2CP – 3600 = 2100 – CP

CP = 1900


35) Answer: B

MP = 6x

SP = 11/12 * 6x = 5.5x

Required percentage = (5.5x – 5x)/5x * 100

= 10%


36) Answer: A

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
