d) Rs.10,000
Answer »Answer: (c)
If the marked price of T.V. be x, then,

Initial S.P. of T.V.
= ${10000 × 80}/100$ = Rs.8000

a) Rs.704
b) Rs.740
c) Rs.614
d) Rs.700
Answer »Answer: (b)
Let the marked price be x.
${x × 85}/100$ = 629
$x = {629 × 100}/85$ = Rs.740
Using Rule 2,
M.P. = ? , S.P. = Rs.629, D = 15%
M.P. = $\text"S.P. × 100"/{100 - D}$
= ${629 × 100}/{100 - 15}$
= $62900/85$ = Rs.740
Question : 3
A shopkeeper sells his goods at 10% discount on the marked price. What price should he mark on an article that costs him Rs.900 to gain 10% ?
a) Rs.1250
b) Rs.1275
c) Rs.1100
d) Rs.1175
Answer »Answer: (c)
C.P. = Rs.900, Gain = 10%
S.P. = Rs.$(110/100 × 900)$ = Rs.990
Let the marked price be x.
$90/100 x$ = 990
$x = {990 × 100}/90$ = Rs.1100
Using Rule 6,
Here, D = 10%, C.P. = Rs.900,
R = 10%, M.P. = ?
$\text"MP"/\text"CP" = {100 + r}/{100 - D}$
$\text"MP"/900 = {100 + 10}/{100 - 10}$
M.P. = $110/90 × 900$ = Rs.1100
Question : 4
A retailer gets a discount of 40% on the printing price of an article. The retailer sells it at the printing price. His gain per cent is
a) 55%
b) 40%
c) 75%
d) 66$2/3$%
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let the printed price of the article be Rs.100
Discount = 40%
C.P. = Rs.(100 - 40) = Rs.60
S.P. = Rs.100
Gain % = $40/60 × 100$
= $200/3 = 66{2}/3$%
Question : 5
A trader gains 15% after selling an item at 10% discount on the printed price. The ratio of the cost price and printed price of the item is
a) 17 : 18
b) 18 : 23
c) 18 : 25
d) 17 : 23
Answer »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
Question : 6
An article is sold at a discount of 20% and an additional discount of 30% is allowed on cash payment. If Vidya purchased the article by paying Rs.2240 in cash, the marked price of the article was
a) Rs.4368
b) Rs.4000
c) Rs.4480
d) Rs.4400
Answer »Answer: (b)
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
