(a) Rs.480
(b) Rs.475
(c) Rs.460
(d) Rs.500
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (d)
Let the S.P. of the bedsheet be Rs. x.
$450 + {10 × x}/100 = x$
$x - x/10 = 450$
${9x}/10 = 450$
$x = {450 × 10}/9$ = Rs.500
Using Rule 1,
C.P. = Rs. 450,
Profit = ${10\text"S.P."}/100 = \text"S.P."/10$
Profit = S.P. - C.P.
$\text"S.P."/10$ = S.P. - 450
450 = S.P. - $\text"S.P."/10$
S.P. = ${450 × 10}/9$ = Rs.500

Question : 1
A merchant buys an article for Rs.27 and sells it at a profit of 10% of the selling price. The selling price of the article is :
a) Rs.37
b) Rs.30
c) Rs.29.70
d) Rs.32
Answer »Answer: (b)
S.P. - C.P.=${10\text"S.P."}/100 = \text"S.P."/10$
S.P.- $\text"S.P."/100$ = 100= 27
S.P.= ${27 × 10}/9$ = Rs.30
Using Rule 1,
C.P. = 27, Profit = $10/100$
S.P. = $\text"S.P."/10$
Profit = S.P. - C.P.
$\text"S.P."/10$ = S.P. - 27
27 = S.P. - $\text"S.P."/10$
S.P. = ${27 × 10}/9$ = Rs.30
Question : 2
By selling an article, a man makes a profit of 25% of its selling price. His profit per cent is
a) 16$2/3$%
b) 25%
c) 20%
d) 33$1/3$%
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 1,
If S.P > C.P. then there will be profit
Profit = S.P. - C.P.
Profit% = ${\text"Profit" × 100}/{\text"C.P."}$
If the S.P. of article be x, then its
CP = $x - x/4$ = Rs.${3x}/4$
Gain % = ${x/4}/{{3x}/4} × 100$
= $100/3 = 33{1}/3$%
Question : 3
A retailer buys a radio for Rs.225. His overhead expenses are Rs.15. He sells the radio for Rs.300. The profit per cent of the retailer is :
a) 20%
b) 26$2/3$%
c) 25%
d) 33$1/3$%
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 1,
Actual C.P. = 225 + 15 = Rs.240
Gain = 300 - 240 = Rs.60
Gain per cent = $60/240 × 100 = 25%$
Question : 4
A merchant purchases a wrist watch for Rs.450 and fixes its list price in such a way that after allowing a discount of 10%, he earns a profit of 20%. Then the list price of the watch is
a) Rs.550
b) Rs.700
c) Rs.650
d) Rs.600
Answer »Answer: (d)
If the marked price of watch be x, then
$x × 90/100 = {450 × 120}/100$
$x = {450 × 120}/90$ = Rs.600
Question : 5
A milkman bought 70 litres of milk for Rs.630 and added 5 litres of water. If he sells it at Rs.9.00 per litre, his profit per centage is
a) 8$2/5$%
b) 7%
c) 8$1/5$%
d) 7$1/7$%
Answer »Answer: (d)
CP of 75 litres of mixture of milk and water = Rs.630
SP of 75 litres of mixture of milk
and water = 9 × 75 = Rs.675
Gain = 675 - 630 = Rs.45
Gain per cent = $45/630 × 100 = 50/7 = 7{1}/7$%
Question : 6
If the cost price is 95% of the selling price, what is the profit per cent ?
a) 5%
b) 4.75%
c) 4%
d) 5.26%
Answer »Answer: (d)
If the cost price be Rs.x, then
S.P. = $100/95x = Rs.20/19x$
Gain = ${20x}/19 - x = Rs.x/19$
Gain per cent = ${x/19}/x × 100 = 5.26%$
Using Rule 3,
Here C.P. = $95/100$ S.P.
C.P. = S.P.$(100/{100 + Profit%})$
$95/100$ S.P.
= S.P.$(100/{100 + Profit%})$
9500 + 95 profit% = 10000
Profit % = $500/95$ = 5.26%
