CP of chair = $100/75 × 720$ = Rs.960
To gain 25%, SP = $125/100 × 960$ = Rs.1200
Using Rule 3,
C.P. = S.P.$(100/{100 - Loss%})$

Question : 1
By selling a fan for Rs.600, a man loses 10%. To make a gain of 20%, the selling price of the fan should be
a) Rs.900
b) Rs.700
c) Rs.800
d) Rs.1000
Answer »Answer: (c)
C.P. of fan = Rs.$({600 × 100}/90)$
Required S.P. = ${600 × 100}/90 × 120/100$ = Rs.800
Using Rule 3,
C.P. = S.P.$(100/{100 - Loss%})$
= ${600 × 100}/{100 - 10}$
C.P. = $60000/90 = 6000/9$
New S.P. = C.P. × $({100 + Profit%}/100)$
= $6000/9({100 + 20}/100) = {60 × 120}/9$ = Rs.800
Question : 2
A man bought 20 dozen eggs for Rs.720. What should be the selling price of each egg if he wants to make a profit of 20% ?
a) Rs.3.25
b) Rs.3.50
c) Rs.3.60
d) Rs.3.30
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 1,
If S.P > C.P. then there will be profit
Profit = S.P. - C.P.
Profit% = ${\text"Profit" × 100}/{\text"C.P."}$
CP of 1 egg = $720/{20 × 12}$ = Rs.3
Required SP of 1 egg = $3 × 120/100$ = Rs.3.60
Question : 3
By selling a table for Rs.1140, a man loses 5%. in order to gain 5%, the table must be sold for
a) Rs.1260
b) Rs.1180
c) Rs.1250
d) Rs.1320
Answer »Answer: (a)
C.P. of table = 1140 × $100/95$ = Rs.1200
S.P. at 5% gain = ${1200 × 105}/100$ = Rs.1260
Using Rule 3,
C.P. = S.P.$(100/{100 - Loss%})$
= $1140(100/{100 - 5}) = 114000/95$ = Rs.1200
S.P. = C.P. ×$({100 + Profit %}/100)$
= $1200({100 + 5}/100)$
= $1200 × 105/100$ = Rs.1260
Question : 4

a) Rs.960
b) Rs.1000
c) Rs.1200
d) Rs.900
Answer »Answer: (c)

a) Rs.87
b) Rs.80
c) Rs.84
d) Rs.85
Answer »Answer: (c)
C.P. of that article
= $72 × 100/{100 - 10} = {72 × 100}/90$ = Rs.80
S.P. of that article on 5% gain
= $80 × 105/100$ = Rs.84
Question : 6
By selling an article for Rs.69, there is a loss of 8%, when the article is sold for Rs.78, the gain or loss per cent is :
a) neither loss nor gain
b) 4% loss
c) 40% gain
d) 4% gain
Answer »Answer: (d)
SP of article = Rs.69
Loss % = 8%
CP = Rs.${100 × 69}/92$ = Rs.75
New SP = Rs.78
Gain % = ${78 - 75}/75$ × 100 = 4%
Using Rule 3,
C.P. = S.P. × $100/{100 - Loss%}$
= ${69 × 100}/{100 - 8}$
= $6900/92$ = Rs. 75
New S.P.= C.P.$({100 + Profit%}/100)$
78 = 75 × $({100 + Profit%}/100)$
7800 = 7500 + 75 Profit%
${7800 - 7500}/75$ = Profit %
$300/75$ = Profit%
Profit% = 4%
