(b) 18 : 23
(c) 18 : 25
(d) 17 : 23
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (b)
Let the CP of article be x and its marked price be y.
According to the question,
90% of y = 115% of x
${y × 90}/100 = {x × 115}/100$
$x/y =90/115 = 18/23$ ⇒ 18 : 23
Using Rule 6,
Here, r = 15%, D = 10%
$\text"MP"/\text"CP" = {100 + r}/{100 - D}$
= ${100 + 15}/{100 - 10}$
$\text"M.P."/ \text"C.P."= 115/90$
$\text"C.P."/ \text"M.P."= 90/115$
$\text"C.P."/ \text"M.P."= 18/23$
C.P. : M.P. = 18 : 23

b) 40%
c) 75%
d) 66$2/3$%

Discount = 40%
C.P. = Rs.(100 - 40) = Rs.60

The selling price of an article is Rs.1,920 and the discount given is 4%. The marked price of the article is

$x ={1920 × 100}/96$ = Rs.2000
Using Rule 2,
S.P. = Rs.1920 D = 4% M.P. = ?
M.P. = $\text"S.P. × 100"/{100 - D}$
= ${1920 × 100}/{100 - 4}$
= ${1920 × 100}/96$ = Rs.2000

Let the marked price of the article be x.
Equivalent discount for successive discounts of 30% and 20%
= $(30 + 20 - {30 × 20}/100)$%
= (50 - 6)% = 44%
(100 - 44)% of x = 2240
${x × 56}/100 = 2240$
$x = {2240 × 100}/56$ = Rs.4000

${x × 90}/100 = 120$
$x = {120 × 100}/90$ = Rs.$400/3$
S.P. after a discount of 20%
= 80% of $400/3$
= ${400 × 80}/300 = 320/3 = 106{2}/3$
Profit percent
