Answers :
1) Answer: A
MP – SP = discount
(4x – 15000)/(3x – 15000) = 3/1
9x – 45000 = 4x – 15000
5x = 30000
x = 6000
MP of laptop = 4 * 6000 = Rs.24000
2) Answer: D
Let x = Marked price of the toy
(100 – 24)% of x = 114
=> x = 150
Required Cost price = 7/5 * 150 = Rs.210
3) Answer: E
2400 – CP = (CP – 1700) * 75/100
9600 – 4CP = 3CP – 5100
7CP = 14700
CP = 2100
Required SP = 2100 * 120/100 = Rs.2520
4) Answer: C
Let CP = 100x
MP = 1.1 * 100x = 110x
SP = (100 – 30)% of (100 – 40)% of 110x = 46.2x
Loss % = (100x – 46.2x)/100x * 100
= 53.8%
5) Answer: D
CP of the table = 100/300 * 1200 = Rs.400
1200 * (100 – x)/100 = 400 * 225/100
100 – x = 75
x = 25
6) Answer: D
12 * 75/100 = CP * 120/100
CP = Rs.7.5
Required percent = (10 – 7.5)/7.5 * 100
= 33(1/3)%
7) 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
8) Answer: A
Let cost price of (SD Card) Amir =100x
Selling price of Amir = Cost price of Bindhu =80% of 100x = 80x
Selling price of Bindhu = Cost price of Chaya = 150% of 80x = 120x
Selling price of Chaya = Cost price of Dinne = 115% of 120x = 138x
138x- 80x =232
58x = 232
X=4
Difference between CP of Amir and SP of Chaya
= 138x – 100x
=38x
= 38*4
= Rs.152
9) Answer: C
Cost price = x
1.15x – (x – 500) = 2000
1.15x – x+500= 2000
0.15x =1500
=> x = Rs.10000
10) 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

Answers :
11) Answer: B
CP of one table = 20000/10 = Rs.2000
SP of one table = 24000/8 = Rs.3000
Required percentage = (3000 – 2000)/2000 * 100
=1000/2000 * 100
= 50%
12) 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
13) 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
14) 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
15) Answer: A
SP of AC = 21000
CP of AC = 21000 – 3000 = 18000
CP of Washing machine = 100/120 * 18000 = 15000
CP of refrigerator = 90/100 * 15000 = Rs.13500
16) Answer: C
CP = x
SP = x * 90/100 = 9x/10
MP * 80/100 = x * 9/10
MP = 9x/8
Required percentage = (9x/8 – 9x/10)/(9x/8) * 100
= 20%
17) Answer: C
CP of the laptop = x
MP of the laptop = x * 150/100 = 3x/2
3x/2 * 80/100 = x + 480
0.2x = 480
x = Rs.2400
18) Answer: E
Let the CP of 1st bicycle be Y
And the CP of 2nd bicycle be Z
CP of 1st bicycle,
SP = CP x (100 + P)/100
Or, 7140 = Y x 140/100
Y = Rs. 5100
CP of 2nd bicycle,
SP = CP x (100 – L)/100
Or, 7140 = Z x 85/100
Z = Rs. 8400
Thus, total CP of two bicycle = Rs. (5100 + 8400) = Rs. 13500
And, total SP of two bicycle = Rs. (7140 + 7140) = Rs. 14280
So, overall profit % = 780/13500 x 100 = 5.77%
19) Answer: A
Let cost price of the product =100a
Marked price of the product =180% of 100a =180a
Profit =15%
Profit =15% of 100a =15a
Therefore selling price =100a+15a =115a
115a = 180a ((100-25)/100) (100-x)/100)
115 = 135((100-x)/100)
2300 =2700 – 27x
27x =2700-2300
27x =400
x=14.81%
Discount offered while selling x= 14.81%
20) Answer: A
11000 * (100 – x)/100 * 80/100 = 7200 * (100 + x)/100
8800/7200 = (100 + x)/(100 – x)
720000 + 7200x = 880000 – 8800x
x = 10%

Answers :
21) Answer: A
CP1 + CP2 = 70
=>2 : 5
7’s = 70 = > 1’s = 10
CP1 = 10 * 2 = 20
CP2 = 10 * 5 = 50
SP1 = 20 * (125/100) = Rs. 25
SP2 = 50 * (90/100) = Rs. 45
22) Answer: B
CP = 2000
MP = 2000 * 110/100 = Rs.2200
SP = 2200 – 260 = 1940
Required loss percentage = [(2000 – 1940)/2000] * 100 = 3%
23) Answer: D
SP of watch = 1350
CP of watch = 100/75 * 1350 = Rs.1800
MP = 1800 * 120/100 = Rs.2160
2160 * (100 – x)/100 = 1350
x = 37.5%
24) Answer: E
SP of the laptop = 3x
MP of the laptop = 5x
CP of laptop = y
SP = y * 120/100
3x = 6y/5
y = 5x/2
5x – 5x/2 = 600
5x/2 = 600
x = 240
SP = 3 * 240 = 720
MP = 5 * 240 = 1200
MP – SP = 1200 – 720 = 480
25) Answer: B
CP = 4x
MP = 4x * 125/100 = 5x
5x * 60/100 = 4800
x = 1600
CP = 4 * 1600 = 6400
26) 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
27) Answer: E
CP of the Pen = 5x
MP of the Pen = 5x * 120/100 = 6x
SP of the Pen = 6x * 90/100 = 27x/5
Required percentage = (27x/5 – 5x)/5x * 100 = 8%
28) Answer: B
SP of table = 100x
SP of chair = 100x * 70/100 = 70x
CP of table = t
CP of Chair = c
t * 125/100 = 100x
t = 80x
c * 112/100 = 70x
c = 62.5x
(100x + 70x) – (80x + 62.5x) = 1100
x = 40
CP of table = 80 * 40 = Rs.3200
29) Answer: C
Let cost price of the chair be 100x
Then, cost price of the table is 2000-100x
Selling price of both the products = 2000+216 =2216
108% of 100x+ 112% of (2000-100x) = 2216
108x + 2240 -112x = 2216
24 =4x
6=x
Selling price of the chair = 108x = Rs.648
30) Answer: B
Let the c.p of two articles are 3x and 2x
= > 3x *20/100 – 2x*10/100 = 40
= > x =100
cp of the first article = 3x = 300

Answers :
31) Answer: C
CP = 100x
MP = 100x * 140/100 = 140x
140x – 3600 = 100x * 120/100
x = 180
CP of item = 100 * 180 = Rs.18000
32) Answer: C
CP = 2a
MP = 3a
2a – 3750 = x
4800 – 2a = 2x
4800 – 2a = 2 * (2a – 3750)
a = 2050
MP = 3 * 2050 = 6150
Discount = 6150 – 4800 = 1350
33) Answer: E
CP of (A + B) = 5200 * 2 = 10400
CP of A = x
CP of B = 10400 – x
x * 125/100 + (10400 – x)* 85/100 = 10440
125x + 884000 – 85x = 1044000
x = 4000
CP of article B = 10400 – 4000 = Rs.6400
34) Answer: C
Ratio of CP and MP of article=100:140=5:7
SP of article=7y*80/100=56/10
5y=x    –—- (1)
56y/10=(2x-396) — (2)
5*(2x-396)=56/10*x
10x-19800=56x/10
100x-198000=56x
44x=198000
x=450
35) Answer: B
Let the MP=5x
SP=5x*80/100=4x
4x-CP=3000
CP=4x-3000
4x-500=CP*110/100
4x-500=11/10*(4x-3000)
4x-500=4.4x-3300
0.4x=2800
x=7000
MP=5*7000=Rs.35000
36) Answer: A
5x * 90/100 – 240 = 3x + 960
4.5x – 3x = 1200
x = 800
MP of cooker = 5 * 800 = Rs.4000
37) Answer: D
Let the CP=x
And the MP=x+9600
(x+9600)*75/100-x=x*5/100
3x/4+7200-x=x/20
x/20+x/4=7200
6x=144000
x=24000
Cost price of the fridge = Rs. 24000
38) Answer: D
Marked price of the laptop =Rs.8400
Selling Price of the laptop =8400*75/100=Rs.6300
Cost Price of the laptop =6300-700=Rs.5600
Profit percentage=700/5600*100=12.5%
39) Answer: C
SP of mobile = 4x
SP of laptop = 5x
CP of mobile = 4x – 600
CP of laptop = 5x * 100/120 = 25x/6
25x/6 – 4x + 600 = 1000
x = 2400
CP of laptop = 25 * 2400/6 = Rs.10000
40) Answer: B
Let the CP=5x
And the MP=7x
7x*90/100-450-5x=5x*8/100
6.3x-450-5x=0.4x
0.9x=450
x=500
CP=5*500=Rs.2500

Answers :
41) Answer: C
Let the CP be Rs.x.
(1500 – x)/x * 100 = (x – 1200)/x * 100
=> 1500 – x = x – 1200
=> 2x = 2700
=> x = 1350
Required S.P = 110% of x
= 110/100 * 1350
= Rs.1485
42) Answer: B
Marked price of the article = 6600/0.55 = Rs. 12000
Cost price of the article = 12000/3 = Rs. 4000
Required profit percent = {(6600 – 4000)/4000} × 100 = 65%
43) Answer: D
1000 * (100 + x)/100 – 1000 * (100 – (x/2))/100 = 300
1000 + 10x – 10 * (200 – x)/2 = 300
1000 + 10x – 1000 + 5x = 300
15x = 300
x = 20%
Required selling price = 1000 * (100 + 2 * 20)/100 = 1000 * 140/100 = Rs.1400
44) Answer: D
CP * 125/100 = 3500
CP = 2800
SP = 3500 * 85/100 = 2975
Profit = 2975 – 2800 = 175
Required percentage = 175/2800 * 100
= 6.25%
45) Answer: C
CP of the mobile = 4x
MP of the mobile = 5x
5x * 85/100 = 4x + 280
4.25x = 4x + 280
x = 1120
CP of the mobile = 1120 * 4 = 4480
46) Answer: D
Let the CP=x
And the MP=x+9600
(x+9600)*75/100-x=x*5/100
3x/4+7200-x=x/20
x/20+x/4=7200
6x=144000
x=24000
Cost price of the fridge = Rs. 24000
47) Answer: C
Let the cost price of the Scooty = 5x
And the marked price of the Scooty = 5x * 140/100 = 7x
(7x * 90/100 –5x) – (7x * 80/100 – 5x) = 1050
63x/10 – 5x – (56x/10 – 5x) = 1050
63x – 50x – 56x + 50x = 1050 * 10
7x = 1050 * 10
x = 1500
The cost price of the Scooty = 5 * 1500 = Rs.7500
48) Answer: C
Let the CP=5x
And the MP=5x*140/100=7x
SP=7x*85/100=119x/20
119x/20-5x=532
19x=10640
x=560
CP=5*560=Rs.2800
49) Answer: E
SP of Radio = 3x * 115/100 = 3.45x
SP of Cooker = 2x * 112/100 = 2.24x
3.45x – 2.24x = 2178
x = 1800
CP of Cooker = 1800 * 2 = Rs.3600
50) Answer: D
Let the original selling price of the speaker be Rs.y.
x * 120/100 = y
6x/5 = y
x = 5y/6
x * 130/100 = y + x/15 + 50
13x/10 = 6x/5 + x/15 + 50
13x/10 = (18x + x)/15 + 50
13x/10 = 19x/15 + 50
(39x – 38x)/30 = 50
x/30 = 50
x = Rs.1500
