- Question
If 47. 2506 = 4*A + 7/B + 2*C + 5/D + 6*E, then the value of 5*A + 3*B + 6*C + D + 3*E is :
Options- A. 55.6003
- B. 53.603
- C. 153.6003
- D. 213.003
- Correct Answer
- 153.6003
Explanation4*A + 7/B + 2*C + 5/D + 6*E =47.2506
=> 4 * A + 7/B + 2 *C + 5/D + 6*E = 40 + 7 + 0.2 + 0.05 + 0.0006
Comparing the terms on both sides, we get :
4*A =40, 7/B = 7, 2*C = 0.2, 5/D = 0.05, 6*E = 0.0006
A = 10,
B = 1,
C = 0.1,
D = 100,
E = 0.0001.
5*A + 3*B + 6*C + D + 3*E =(5*10) + (3*1) + (6*0.1) +100 +(3*0.0001)
=50 + 3 + 0.6 + 100 + 0.003 = 153.6003. - 1. A person sold an article for ? 3600 and got a profit of 20%. Had he sold the article for ? 3150, how much profit would he have got?

Correct Answer: 5%
Explanation:
Let the cost price of the article be ? N.
Now, N + 20N/100 = 3600
? 120N/100 = 3600
? N = 3000
Now, profit percentage when the article is sold for ? 3150 = [(3150 - 3000)/3000] x 100
= (150/3000) x 100 = 5%
Correct Answer: 20% profit
Explanation:
Let each lot of onion-contain N kg onion,
Then total cost price of these two lots together = 10N + 15N = 25N
Selling price of whole lot = 15 x (N + N) = 15 x 2N = 30N
Profit percentage = [(30N - 25N)/25N] x 100 %
= (5/25) x 100%
= 20%
Correct Answer: 24
Explanation:
Let the cost price be ? N.
SP of 1 orange = ? 30/32 = ? 15/16
According to the question, 75N/100 = 15/16
? N = [(15 x 100)/75] x 16 = ? 5/4
SP of 1 orange with 20% profit = ? [(5/4) x 120]/100 = ? 3/2
? In ? 3/2, the number of oranges sold = 1
? in ? 24, the number of oranges sold = (2/3) x 24 = 16
Correct Answer: ? 147
Explanation:
Total cost price = ? (120 x 100) = ? 12000
Total expenditure = 480 + (1/2) x 120 + 60 = ? 600
Total cost price = 12000 + 600 = ? 126000
Gain = 40%
SP of 120 reams = 12600 x (140/100) = ? 17640
? SP per ream = 17640/120 = ? 147
Correct Answer: 284/7 % gain
Explanation:
Given that, a = 10% and b = 30%
According to the formula,
Required per cent = [(b - a)/(100 - b)] x 100
= [(30 - 10)/(100 - 30)] x 100
= (20/70) x 100 = 200/7%
= 284/7% profit
Correct Answer: 4% loss
Explanation:
Here, a = 20%
? Total loss percentage = a2/100 %
= (20 x 20)/100
= 4%
Correct Answer: 1% loss
Explanation:
Loss % = (a/10)2%
= (10/10)2%
= 1%
Correct Answer: 180 < N < 190
Explanation:
Cost price = (selling price x 100)/(100 - loss%)
= (136 x 100)/(100 - 15)
= (136 x 100)/85
= ? 160
Selling price (N) = 160 x (100 + 15)/100 = (160 x 115)/100
= ? 184
? Option (b) is correct because
[180 < N < 190].
Correct Answer: 25%
Explanation:
Let cost price = ? 1000
? Actual cost price = ? 920
Selling price = (1000 x 115)/100 = ?1150
? Actual profit percentage = (1150 - 920)/(920 x 100) = 25%
Correct Answer: ? 1200
Explanation:
Let cost price of transistor = ? N
According to the question,
CP of transistor = (N x 105)/100
And SP of transistor = (115 x N)/100 + 6
? Profit percentage = (SP - CP)/CP x 100
? 10 = [[(115N/100) + 6 - (105N/100)] / (105N/100)] x 100
? 10 = [(10N + 600) x 100]/ 105N
? 105N = 100N + 6000
? 5N = 6000
? N= ? 1200
