Question : 1

The cash difference between selling prices of an article at a profit of 4% and 6% is Rs.3. The ratio of the two selling prices is

a) 52 : 53

b) 51 : 52

c) 51 : 53

d) 52 : 55

Answer: (a)

Let the C.P. be x

(6 - 4)% of x = 3

2% of x = 3 ⇒ x =$300/2$ = 150

S.P. at 4% gain = ${150 × 104}/100$ = Rs.156

and S.P. at 6% gain = ${150 × 106}/100$ = Rs.159

The required ratio = 156 : 159 = 52 : 53

Question : 2

The prices of a refrigerator and a television set are in the ratio 5 : 3. If the refrigerator costs Rs.5500 more than the television set, then the price of the refrigerator is:

a) Rs.8250

b) Rs.27500

c) Rs.13750

d) Rs.16500

Answer: (c)

CP of refrigerator = Rs.5x

CP of television = Rs.3x

2x = 5500 ⇒ x = $5500/2$ = 2750

CP of refrigerator = 5 × 2750 = Rs.13750

Question : 3

A, B and C entered into a partnership. A invested Rs.2,560 and B Rs.2,000. At the end of the year, they gained Rs.1,105, out of which A got Rs.320. C’s capital was

a) Rs.2,840

b) Rs.4,280

c) Rs.4,820

d) Rs.4,028

Answer: (b)

Ratio of investment of A : B

= 2560 : 2000 = 32 : 25

Now, A gained = Rs.320

B gained = Rs.250

Total Profit = Rs.110

C gained = Rs.535

According to question,

$250/535 = 2000/\text"C's Capital"$

Hence, C's capital

= ${2000 × 535}/250$ = Rs.4280

Question : 4

a) 2 : 3

b) 1 : 2

c) 3 : 2

d) 2 : 5

Answer: (d)

CP of the mixture = ${324 × 100}/120$ = Rs.270

∴ Required ratio = 2 : 5

Question : 5

If the ratio of cost price and the selling price is 5 : 6, the gain per cent is

a) 33$1/3$%

b) 20%

c) 25%

d) 30%

Answer: (b)

Using Rule 1,

If S.P > C.P. then there will be profit

Profit = S.P. - C.P.

Profit% = ${\text"Profit" × 100}/{\text"C.P."}$

Let the cost price = 5x

and the selling price = 6x.

Gain % =${6x - 5x}/{5x} × 100$ = 20%

Question : 6

A, B and C entered into partnership in a business. A got $3/5$ of the profit and B and C distributed the remaining profit equally. If C got Rs.400 less than A, the total profit was

a) Rs.1200

b) Rs.1600

c) Rs.1000

d) Rs.800

Answer: (c)

Let the total profit be Rs.x.

A ’s share in profit = Rs.${3x}/5$

B ’s share in profit = Rs.$x/5$

and C ’s share in profit = Rs.$x/5$

According to the question,

$({3x}/5 - x/5)$ = 400

${2x}/5$ = 400

$x = {400 × 5}/2$ = Rs.1000
