Question : 1
A shopkeeper gains Rs.56 on a toy after allowing 23% discount on its marked price. If his gain is 10%, then the marked price of the toy is :
a) Rs.800
b) Rs.810
c) Rs.740
d) Rs.560
Answer »Answer: (a)
Let marked price of toy be x
S.P. = $x × 77/100 = {77x}/100$
C.P. = $x × 77/100 × 100/110 = {7x}/10$
${77x}/100 - {7x}/10 = 56$
${7x}/100 = 56$
$x = {100 × 56}/7$ = Rs.800

a) Rs.36.5
b) Rs.42
c) Rs.41.5
d) Rs.40
Answer »Answer: (d)
Suppose printed price = Rs.100

c) Rs.750
d) Rs.1,500
Answer »Answer: (d)

Question : 4
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 : 5
A shopkeeper sells his goods at 15% discount. The marked price of an article whose selling price is Rs.629 is :
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
