c) Rs.9,755
d) Rs.8,426
Answer »Answer: (a)
If the marked price of the washing machine be Rs.x, then

A publisher printed 2000 copies of a book at a cost of Rs.70,000. He distributes 400 copies free as specimen copies. He gave 30% discount on printed price and the printed price of each book is Rs.75. What is his gain or loss percentage ?

Total S.P. = 1600 × 52.50 = Rs.84000
Gain = 84000 - 70000 = Rs.14000
Gain% = $14000/70000 × 100$ = 20%

Answer »Answer: (a)
Let list price of article = Rs.100
CP for Richa = 100 × $4/5$ = Rs.80

Gain per cent = $40/80 × 100$ = 50%
Question : 4
The cost of manufacture of a tape recorder is Rs.1,500. The manufacturer fixes the marked price 20% above the cost of manufacture and allows a discount in such a way as to get a profit of 8%. The rate of discount is
a) 12%
b) 20%
c) 10%
d) 8%
Answer »Answer: (c)
Marked price of tape recorder
= ${1500 × 120}/100$ = Rs.1800
Gain = ${1500 × 8}/100$ = Rs.120
Discount = 1800 - (1500 + 120) = Rs.180
Let Discount per cent = x%, then
${1800 × x}/100$ = 180 ⇒ x = 10%
Method 2 :
If the discount be x%, then
$20 - x - {20x}/100$ = 8
$20 - {6x}/5 = 8$
${6x}/5$ = 20 - 8 = 12
$ x = {12 × 5}/6$ = 10%
Question : 5
The marked price of an article is 50% above cost price. When marked price is increased by 20% and selling price is increased by 20%, the profit doubles. If original marked price is Rs.300, then original selling price is
a) Rs.200
b) Rs.240
c) Rs.275
d) Rs.250
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let the original S.P. be x. C.P. of the article
= ${300 × 100}/150$ = Rs.200
After corresponding increases
${x × 120}/100 - 200 = 2(x - 200)$
${6x}/5 - 200 = 2x - 400$
6x - 1000 = 10x - 2000
4x = 1000 ⇒ x = Rs.250
Question : 6

a) no loss, no gain
b) a gain of 1%

Answer »Answer: (c)
Let the CP of article be 100.
