Correct Answer: Rs. 1, 00, 000
Explanation:
Let the price of be 4x, 5x and 7x rupees.
Then, 7x - 4x = Rs. 60000
? x = 20000
? Required modest price = 5x = Rs. 100000
Correct Answer: 56.8%
Explanation:
Let original price = Rs. 100
Price after first discount = Rs. 90
Price after second discount = Rs. (80 x 90)/100 = Rs. 72
Price after third discount = Rs. (60 x 72)/100 = Rs. 43.20
? Single equivalent discount = (100 - 43.20) = 56.8%
Correct Answer: Rs. 800
Explanation:
Let the marked price be Rs. N
? C.P. = (N - 25% of N) = 3N / 4
? S.P. = (3N / 4 + 10% of 3N / 4) = 33N / 40
But, 33N / 40 = 660
? N = 800
Correct Answer: 16.64%
Explanation:
In such question we adopt the Required gain %
= [(100 + common gain%)2 / 100 - 100] %
= { (108)2/100 - 100 } % = 16.64%
Correct Answer: Rs. 60
Explanation:
Let the C.P. be Rs. x
Then 2(69 - x) / 100 = (78 - x) / 100
? 138 - 2x = 78 - x
? x = 60
? C.P. = Rs. 60
Correct Answer: 8%
Explanation:
Let C.P. = Rs. 100
Then marked price = Rs. 120
S.P. = 90% of Rs. 120 = Rs. 108
? Required gain% = {(108 - 100) / 100} x 100% = 8%
Correct Answer: Rs. 7.20
Explanation:
Sale after 40% discount = 60% of Rs. 500 = Rs. 300
Price after 36% discount = 64% of Rs. 500 = Rs. 320
Price after next 4% discount = 96% of Rs. 320 = Rs. 307.20
? Required difference in two prices = (307.20 - 300) = Rs. 7.20
Correct Answer: 18
Explanation:
Cost price for 45 oranges - 20% = Rs. 40.
? Cost price for 45 oranges = Rs. 50.
When he sells for Rs. 24 his gain is 20%, hence cost price is Rs 20.
Number of oranges = (20 x 45)/50 = 18
Correct Answer: 20%
Explanation:
? S.P. = (90% of Rs. 480) = Rs. 432
Gain earned on it = 8%
? C.P. = Rs. (100/108) x 432 = Rs. 400
If no discount is allowed, S.P. = Rs. 480
? Required gain% = (80 /400) x 100 % = 20%
Correct Answer: Rs. 82
Explanation:
Let the loss be Rs. x
Then 75 = C.P. - x
and 96 = C.P. + 2x
On subtracting we get,
3x = 21
? x = 7
? C.P. = 75 + x = Rs. 82
