Question : 1
A book seller sells a book at a profit of 10%. If he had bought it at 4% less and sold it for Rs.6 more, he would have gained 18$3/4%$. The cost price of the book is
a) Rs.130
b) Rs.160
c) Rs.140
d) Rs.150
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let the CP of the book be Rs.x.
Initial SP = $110/100 × x = 1.1 x$
New CP = 0.96 x
New SP = $(100 + 75/4)%$ of 0.96x
=$475/400 × 0.96x = 1.14 x$
Therefore, 1.14 x –1.1x = 6
0.04 x = 6
$x = 6/{0.04} = 600/4 = 150$
CP = Rs.150
Question : 2
When an article is sold at a gain of 20%, it yields Rs.60 more than when it is sold at a loss of 20%. The cost price of the article is
a) Rs.200
b) Rs.120
c) Rs.150
d) Rs.140
Answer »Answer: (c)
Let the CP of the article be Rs.x.
${120x}/100 - {80x}/100 = 60$
40x = 60 × 100
$x = {60 × 100}/40$ = Rs.150
Using Rule 11,
Here, x = 20%, R= Rs.60, y= 20%
C.P. = ${R × 100}/{y + x}$
= ${60 × 100}/{20 + 20}$
= $6000/40$ = Rs.150
Question : 3
Sandeep sells an article at a loss of 10%. Had he bought it at 20% less and sold it for Rs.55 more, he could have gained 40%. What is the cost price of the article ?
a) Rs.200
b) Rs.275
c) Rs.225
d) Rs.250
Answer »Answer: (d)
C.P. of article = Rs. x
First S.P. = Rs.${9x}/10$
Case II,
C.P. = ${80x}/100$ = Rs.${4x}/5$
According to the question,
${4x}/5 × 140/100 - {9x}/10$ = 55
${56x}/50 - {9x}/10$ = 55
${56x - 45x}/50$ = 55
11x = 50 × 55
$x = {50 × 55}/11$ = Rs.250
Question : 4
A book vendor sold a book at a loss of 20%. Had he sold it for Rs.108 more, he would have earned a profit of 30%. Find the cost price of the book ?
a) Rs.216
b) Rs.432
c) Rs.648
d) Rs.240
Answer »Answer: (a)
If the cost price of the book be Rs.x, then
${x × 80}/100 + 108 = {x × 130}/100$
${5x}/10 = 108 ⇒ x = Rs.216$
Using Rule 11
Here, x = 20%, R= Rs.108, y=30%
C.P. = ${R × 100}/{y + x}$
= ${108 × 100}/{30 + 20}$
= $10800/50$ = Rs.216
Question : 5
A merchant has 1000 kg sugar, part of which sells at 8% profit and the rest at 18% profit. He gain 14% on the whole. The quantity sold at 8% profit is :
a) 560 kg.
b) 400 kg.
c) 600 kg.
d) 640 kg.
Answer »Answer: (b)
Let the quantity of sugar at 8% profit be x kg.
Quantity of sugar sold at 18% = (100 - x) kg
According to the question,
$x × 108/100 + (1000 - x) × 118/100$
= ${1000 × 114}/100$
108x + 118000 - 118x = 114000
10x = 118000 - 114000
10x = 4000 ⇒ x = 400 kg
