Question : 1
A discount of 24% on the marked price of an article is allowed and then the article is sold for Rs.342. The marked price of the article is
a) Rs.490
b) Rs.500
c) Rs.430
d) Rs.450
Answer »Answer: (d)
If the marked price of article be x, then
${x × 76}/100 = 342$
$x = {342 × 100}/76$ = Rs.450
Using Rule 2,
Here, D = 24%, S.P. = Rs.342, M.P. = ?
M.P. = $\text"S.P. × 100"/{100 - D}$
= ${342 × 100}/{100 - 24}$
= $34200/76$ = Rs.450
Question : 2
The cost price of an article is 64% of the marked price. The gain percentage after allowing a discount of 12% on the marked price is
a) 48%
b) 37.5%
c) 52%
d) 50.5%
Answer »Answer: (b)
Let marked price of article = Rs.100
C.P. of article = Rs.64
S.P. of article = Rs.88
Profit per cent
= ${88 - 64}/64 × 100$ = 37.5%
Question : 3
An article, which is marked Rs.650, is sold for Rs.572. The discount given is
a) 13%
b) 12%
c) 26%
d) 21%
Answer »Answer: (b)
Discount = 650 - 572 = Rs.78
If the discount bex% then
${650 × x}/100 = 78$
$x = {78 × 100}/650 = 12%$
Using Rule 1,If Marked Price = (MP), Selling Price = (SP)Then, Discount = MP - SP andDiscount% = $\text"Discount"/\text"MP" × 100$Discount% = $\text"Marked Price - Selling Price"/\text"Marked Price" × 100$Note:Any kind of Discount is calculated only on marked price and not on selling price or cost price.
Here, M.P. = Rs.650, S.P. = Rs.572
Discount % = $\text"M.P. - S.P."/\text"M.P." × 100$
= ${650 - 572}/650 × 100$
= $7800/650$ = 12%

a) Rs.800
b) Rs.810
c) Rs.740
d) Rs.560
