Correct Answer: 7:30
Explanation:
Since S.P. = 5 (M.P. - S.P.) => 5 M.P. = 6 S.P.
M.P. = (6/5) S.P.
Since the percentage discount = Percentage profit,
Therefore, 1/6 = (S.P/C.P) ? 1 => S.P = (7/6) C.P
M.P = 6/5 S.P = 6/5 x 7/6 C.P = 7/5 C.P
Therefore, Ratio of discount to C.P
= (M.P ? S.P)/C.P = [{(7/5)C.P - (7/6)C.P} / C.P.]
= 7/30
Therefore, the ratio is 7 : 30
Correct Answer: Rs. 11750
Explanation:
From the given data,
The cost price of the article = 5640 x 100/60 = Rs. 9400
The selling price of the article to gain 25% profit = 9400 x 125/100 = Rs. 11750.
Correct Answer: 60
Explanation:
-5-----------------------5-------------------20
5-(-5) = 10
20-5= 15
Ratio of cost price of book1 and book2 = 3:2
Then cost price of book 1 is given by
(3/5) x 100 = Rs. 60.
Correct Answer: Rs.37,500
Explanation:

Therefore,
=> A = Rs 37,500.
Correct Answer: Rs.480
Explanation:
SP = Rs.800 ; Profit = 25%
Now, CP = Rs.640
Loss = 25% = 25% of Rs.640 = Rs.160
Thus, SP = CP - Loss = Rs.640 - Rs.160 = Rs.480
Correct Answer: 8 : 62.5
Explanation:
Article I Article II
-20 25%
5%
20% 25%
4 : 5
Now, Selling of first article = (4-20%) = 0.8
Selling of second article = (5+25%) = 6.25
Therefore the ratio of selling price = 8 : 62.5
Correct Answer: Rs.1000
Explanation:
Cost price of the article is given by
= 400x100/(20+20)
= Rs.1000
Correct Answer: Rs. 72
Explanation:
We Know,
Profit = 392?320 = Rs72
Correct Answer: 20
Explanation:
Let the total amount be 200 {L.C.M of 40 and 50}
Chacobar C.P. = 200/50 = 4
Fivestar C.P = 200/40 = 5
Remaining Money after petrol = [200 - 200×10%] = 180
Remaining money after buying fivestars = [180 - 20×5] = 80
So number of Chacobar she can buy = 80/4 = 20
Correct Answer: Rs. 8/kg
Explanation:
Let the selling price of the rice = Rs.P/kg
Now, according to the question,
1040 - 100p = 30p
=> p = 8/kg
Hence, the selling price of the rice = Rs. 8/kg
