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
