- A dealer sells a radio at a gain of 10%. If he had bought it at 10% less and sold it for Rs. 132 less, he would have still gained 10%. The C.P. of the radio is?
Options- A. Rs. 1188
- B. Rs. 1200
- C. Rs. 1320
- D. None of these
- Correct Answer
- Rs. 1200
ExplanationLet C.P. = P
Then S.P. = Rs. (110/100 x P) = Rs. 11P/10
New C.P. = Rs. (90/100 x P ) = Rs. 9P/10
New S.P. = (110/100 x 9P) / 100
? 11P/10 - 99P/100 = 132
? P = 1200
? C.P. = Rs. 1200 - 1. A person bought an article and sold it at a loss of 10%. If he had bought it for 20% less and sold it for Rs. 55 more. he would have had a profit of 40%. The C.P. of the article is?

Correct Answer: Rs. 250
Explanation:
Let C.P. = Rs. P
Then S.P. = Rs. (90/100) x P = Rs. (9 x P)/10
New C.P. = Rs. (80/100) x P = Rs. (4 x P)/5
Now, Gain = 40%
? New S.P. Rs. (140/100 x 4P/5) = Rs. 28P/25
? 28P/25 - 9P/10 = Rs. 250
Correct Answer: Rs. 50
Explanation:
? 6% of C.P. + 6% of C.P. = Rs. 6
? 12% of C.P. = Rs. 6
? 12 / 100 x CP = 6
? CP = (100 x 6) / 12 = 50
? C.P. = Rs. 50
Correct Answer: 120%
Explanation:
Let the cost price be 100 rupees.
So after 10% profile price would be Rs. 110.
Price when man sells this item at double price = Rs. 220.
Net profit = 220 - 100 = 120.
% Profit = 120 % ( Cost price is Rs. 100)
Correct Answer: 15%
Explanation:
Net gain = 20% on 3/4 of cost price = 20 x 3/4 % of cost price
= 15% of cost price.
Correct Answer: Rs. 90
Explanation:
? C.P. of 120 reams = Rs. (120 x 80 + 280 + 72 + 120 x 0.40)
= 9600 + 280 + 72 + 48 = Rs. 10000
? C.P. of 1 ream = 10000/120 = Rs. 250/3.
? S.P. of 1 ream = Rs. (108/100 x 250/3) = Rs. 90
Correct Answer: Rs. 9.36
Explanation:
Let the original rate be 'P' paise per egg.
Number of eggs bought for Rs. 7.80 = 780/P
New rate = (130% of P) paise per egg = 13P/10 paise per egg
Number of eggs bought for Rs. 7.80 = 780 x 10/13P = 600/P
? 780/P - 600/P = 3
? 3P = 180
? P = 60
So, present rate = (13 x 60)/10 paise per egg = 78 paise per egg
= Rs. 9.36 per dozen
Correct Answer: 162/3%
Explanation:
C.P. of two horses = Rs. 8000
S.P. of one horse = Rs. 4000
Gain = 25%
? C.P. of this horse = Rs (100/125) x 4000 = Rs.3200
C.P. of another horse = Rs. (8000 - 3200) = Rs. 4800
S.P. of this horse = Rs. 4000
? Loss% = (800/4800) x 100 % = 162/3%
Correct Answer: 37.5%
Explanation:
Let us consider a packet of rice marked 1 kg
Then its actual weight = (80% of 1 kg) = 0.8 kg
Let C.P. of 1 kg be Rs. 100
Then C.P. of 0.8 kg = Rs. 0.8 x 100 = Rs. 80
Now, S.P of 1 kg = 110% of C.P.of 1 kg = Rs. 110
? Gain = (1.1 - 0.8) x 100 = 0.3 x 100 = 130
? Required gain% = [0.3/ (0.8 x 130)] x 100)%
= 37. 5%
Correct Answer: Rs. 500
Explanation:
? (20% of C.P.) - (16% of C.P.) = Rs. 20
? 4% of C.P. = 20
? (4/100 x C.P.) = 20
? C.P. = Rs. (100 x 20/4)
? C.P. of the bicycle = Rs. 500
Correct Answer: Rs. 1125
Explanation:
It is clear that (2.5% of C.P. + 7.5% of C.P.) = 100
? C.P. = Rs. 1000
Now, gain = 121/2
So, Required S.P. = 1121/2% of C.P.
= Rs. (225 / 200) x 1000
= Rs. 1125
