- Question
A salesman calculated his profit on the marked price and finds it to be 30%. He forgets the fact that he gave a discount of 20%. What is his actual profit percentage?
Options- A. 260/11%
- B. 18.4%
- C. 22.5%
- D. 100/7%
- Correct Answer
- 100/7%
ExplanationWhen profit is calculated on Marked Price (M.P) then,
- C.P = M.P - P%
Let M.P = 100
=> C.P = 100 - 30 = 70
But S.P = Rs. 80 as he gave 20% discount,
Now, Actual Profit =
= 100/7 %

Correct Answer: 0.358
Explanation:
3/10 + 5/100 + 8/1000
= 0.3 + 0.05 + 0.008
= 0.358
Correct Answer: ?190
Explanation:
Let use assume the fixed charge = ? a
and charge for 1 km is ? = b
According to question,
for 10 KM journey charge paid = 85
a + 10 x b = 85
a + 10b = 85 .........................(1)
for 15 KM journey charge paid = 120
a + 15b = 120.........................(2)
Subtract the equation (1) from equation (2). we will get,
a + 15b - a - 10b = 120 - 85
5b = 35
b = 7
Put the value of b in equation (1). we will get
a + 10 x 7 = 85
a = 85 - 70
a = 15
Charges for 25 km = a + 25 x b
Put the value of a and b in above equation.
Charges for 25 km =15 + 25 x 7 = 15 + 175 = 190
Charges for 25 km =?190

Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
Let us assume the number is P.
According the question,
three -seventh of a number = 3/7 x P
one -fourth of three -seventh of a number = 1/4 x 3/7 x P
Two-fifths of one -fourth of three -seventh of a number = 2/5 x 1/4 x 3/7 x P
? 2/5 x 1/4 x 3/7 x P = 15
? 2 x 1 x 3 x P = 15 x 7 x 4 x 5
? P = 15 x 7 x 4 x 5 / 2 x 3
? P = 5 x 7 x 2 x 5
? P = 350
? P /2 = 350/2
? P /2 = 175
Correct Answer: 1128
Explanation:
The century divisible by 400 is a leap year. 2100 is not divisible by 400 hence is not a leap year so 2100 is not a leap year, out of remaining 1128 is divisible by 4, so 1128 is a leap year.
Correct Answer: 11
Explanation:
Then, number = 10x + y.
Number obtained by interchanging the digits = 10y + x.
∴ (10x + y) + (10y + x) = 11(x + y), which is divisible by 11.
Correct Answer: 54 6 minutes past 4 11
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 150
Explanation:
First 3-digit number divisible by 6 is 102 and last 3-digit number divisible by 6 is 996.
Difference between two consecutive numbers divisible by 6 is 6.
So 3-digit numbers divisible by 6 are 102,108,114, ......., 996.
This is an Arithmetic Progression in which a = 102, d = 6 and l = 996.
where a = First Number , l = Last Number and d = difference of two consecutive numbers.
Let the number of terms be n. So Last term = tn
Then tn = 996
Use the formula for n terms of arithmetic progression.
? a + ( n - 1) x d = 996
? 102 + (n - 1) x 6 = 996
? 6(n - 1) = 894
? (n - 1) = 149
? n = 150
? Numbers of terms = 150
Correct Answer: 30
Explanation:
Correct Answer: Rs. 60000
Explanation:
Here , Cost of 1 chair = Rs. 214 and cost of one table = Rs. 937 .
? Cost of 6 dozen chairs = 6 × 12 × 214 = Rs. 15408
and cost of 4 dozen tables = 4 × 12 × 937 = Rs. 44976
? Total cost = 15408 + 44976
Total cost = Rs. 15408 + 44976 = Rs. 60384
Total cost of chairs and tables ? Rs. 60000 (Approximately)
