Question : 1
The ratio of cost price and selling price of an article is 8 : 9. The profit per cent is
a) 15%
b) 20%
c) 12.5%
d) 10%
Answer »Answer: (c)
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 CP = 8x and SP = 9x
Profit = (9x - 8x) = x
Profit % = $x/{8x} × 100 = 25/2 =12.5%$

a) 5.5%
b) 5%
c) 6%
d) 6.25%
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 1,
If S.P > C.P. then there will be profit
Profit = S.P. - C.P.
Profit% = ${\text"Profit" × 100}/{\text"C.P."}$
Tricky Approach
Gain% = ${(21 - 20)}/20 × 100 = 1/20 × 100$ = 5%
Question : 3
The cost price : selling price of an article is a : b. If b is 200% of a then the percentage of profit on cost price is
a) 125%
b) 75%
c) 100%
d) 200%
Answer »Answer: (c)
$b = a × 200/100 = 2a$
$b/a = 2 ⇒ b/a - 1 = 2 - 1$
${b - a}/a = 1 ⇒ {b - a}/a × 100 = 100$
Gain per cent = 100%
Question : 4
The ratio in which the Darjeeling tea at Rs.32 per kg is mixed with the Assam tea at Rs.25 per kg so as to gain 20% by selling the mixture at Rs.32.40 per kg is
a) 3 : 4
b) 4 : 3
c) 5 : 2
d) 2 : 5
Answer »Answer: (d)
If the C.P. of the mixture be Rs.x per kg, then
$x = 120/100 = 32.40$
x = ${32.40 × 100}/120 = 27$
∴ Required ratio = 2 : 5
Question : 5

a) 9%
b) 10%
c) 3%
d) 1%
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 1,
Let Cost price = 10x
Selling price = 11x
Gain per cent = ${11x - 10x}/{10x} × 100$
= $x/{10x} × 100 = 10%$
