Answer: (d)

S.P. of 33 metres of cloth

= C.P. of 33 metres of cloth +

S.P. of 11 metres of cloth

S.P. of 22 metres of cloth

= C.P. of 33 metres of cloth

Gain per cent = ${33 - 22}/22 × 100$ = 50%

Using Rule 9,

Here, x = 33, y = 11

Profit % = ${y × 100}/{x - y}$

= ${11 × 100}/{33 - 11} = {11 × 100}/22$ = 50%

Answer: (d)

Gain per cent = ${15 - 12}/12 × 100$ = 25%

Using Rule 8,

Here, x = 15, y = 12

Gain % = $({x - y}/y) × 100$

= ${15 - 12}/12 × 100 = 3/12 × 100$ = 25%

Answer: (c)

Profit percent = ${10 - 8}/8 × 100$ = 25%

Using Rule 8,

Here, x = 10, y = 8

Gain % = $({x - y}/y) × 100$

= ${10 - 8}/8 × 100 = 200/8$ = 25%

Answer: (d)

Using Rule 8,

Loss per cent = ${400 - 320}/400 × 100$

= $80/400 × 100 = 20%$

Answer: (b)

Gain % = ${18 - 15}/15 × 100$

= $3/15 × 100 = 20%$

Using Rule 8,

Here, x = 18, y = 15

Gain% = $({x - y}/y) × 100$

= $({18 - 15}/15) × 100$

= $3/15 × 100$ = 20%

Answer: (d)

If the CP of each article be Rs.1 then

CP of 4 articles = Rs.4

SP of 4 articles = Rs.5

Profit percent = ${5 - 4}/4 × 100 = 25%$

Using Rule 8,

Here, x = 5, y = 4

Profit % = $({x - y}/y) × 100$

= $({5 - 4}/4) × 100 = 100/4$ = 25%
