Answer Key
Q.1) b
MP= Rs960 discount= 20%
SP= 960×80/100=768
CP= 768×100/128=600
Required %=(960-600)/600= 60%
Q.2) e
Equivalent single discount for all schemes
scheme 1=12+12-(12×12/100)=22.56%
scheme 2=14+11-(14×11/100)=23.46%
scheme 3=15+5-(15×5/100)=19.25%
scheme 4=20%
scheme 5=15+20-(15×20/100)=32%
Q.3) a
MP= Rs x
X×(100-20)/100=80/100 X=4/5 X
CP=4/5 X×100/130=8/13X
CP has to increased by
(X-8/13 X)/(8/13 X)×100=62 1/2%
Q.4) b
Let cost price = Rs 100
An marked price= Rs 100+40=Rs 140
Required discount be x%
So
140×(100-x/100)=100
100-x=(100×100)/140
X=28.5%
Q.5) e
SP of laptop= Rs 457
Commission on one laptop=(4×457)/100
Commission on 10 laptops=(4×457×10)/100=Rs 182.80
SP of mobile= Rs 80
Commission on one mobile=(8×20)/100
Commission on 6 mobiles=(8×20×6)/100=Rs 96.00
Total commission on one day= (Rs 182.8+96) = 278.80
The amount of commission will he earn in two weeks = 278.8 ×14 = Rs.3903.2
Q.6) b
Let retail price= Rs 100
Commission= Rs 36
SP=100-36=64
Profit= 8.8%
CP=100/108.8×64=Rs 1000/17
New commission= RS 12
New SP=100-12=Rs 88
Gain=88-(1000/17)=496/17
gain %=496/17×17/1000×100=49.6%
Q.7) c
CP of 1 chocolate for 1st rate=Rs 1/4
CP of 1 chocolate for 2st rate=Rs 1/5
CP of 2 chocolate after mixing = 1/4+1/5=9/20
CP of 1 chocolate after mixing = 9/(20×2)=Rs 9/40
SP of 1 chocolate after mixing= Rs 1/4
gain=1/4-9/40=1/40
gain %=1/40×40/9×100=11 1/9%
Q.8) a
Total CP = (CP+ overhead expenses)
=150+12% of 150=Rs 168
Gain= 10%
SP=110/100×168=Rs 184.80
Q.9) b
Cost Price of One Book= 300(100/120) =300×5/6=Rs.250
Total amount of CP= 18×7×250=Rs 31500
Total amount of SP = 18×7 ×300 = 37800
Required profit = 37800- 31500 = Rs.6300
Q.10) a
CP=Rs x
1632-x=x-128
2x=1760
X=Rs 880
SP= 150% of 880=Rs 1320
Q.11) c
5x×3y×N1/100=12x×4y×N2/100
N1:N2=16:5
Q.12) a
a) P=Rs 8000 R=12% p.a N=5 years total=Rs 12800
b) P=Rs 10000 R=2% p.a N=5 years total=Rs 11,000
c) P=Rs 6000 R=5% p.a N=8 years total=Rs 8400
d) P=Rs 9000 R=10% p.a N=3 years Total=Rs 11700
e) P=Rs 8500 R=10% p.a N=4 years total= Rs 11900
Q.13) d
(x×R×5)/((x+2000)×3R×5)=5/21
X=Rs 5000
Q.14) d
12000×R×5/100-9000× R/2×8/100=2160
R=9%
Q.15) e
Can’t be determined as data inadequate
Q.16) c
x×5×6/100+(8000-x)×8×4/100=2000×2×11.75/100+2000
X=Rs 4500
Q.17) b
[(10000×12×3/100+10000)+(12000×8×2/100+12000) ]×8×R/100=11008
R=5%
Q.18) c
Total interest=500+(500×3)=2000
Q.19) a
Sum=(Diff in interest×100)/(Time ×Diff in Rate)=30×100/(3×2)=500
Q.20) d
1000×5× x/100+800×11/2×x/100=376
X=4
