Question : 1
If I would have purchased 11 articles for Rs.10 and sold all the articles at the rate of 10 for Rs.11, the profit per cent would have been :
a) 11%
b) 21%
c) 10%
d) 100%
Answer »Answer: (b)
C.P. of an article = Rs.$10/11$
S.P. of an article = Rs.$11/10$
Profit = $11/10 - 10/11$
= ${121 - 100}/110 = Rs.21/110$
Profit % = ${{21/110} × 100}/{10/11}$
= $2100/110 × 11/10$ = 21%
Using Rule 13,If the total cost of 'a' articles having equal cost is Rs.x and the total selling price of 'b' articles is Rs.y, then in the transaction gain or loss per cent is given by $({ay - bx}/{bx})$ × 100% Where positive value signifies 'profit' and negative value signifies 'loss'
Here, a = 11, x = 10, b = 10, y = 11
Gain% = $({ay - bx}/{bx}) × 100%$
= $({11 × 11 - 10 × 10}/{10 × 10}) × 100%$
= $({121 - 100}/100) × 100%$ = 21%
Question : 2
A person buys some pencils at 5 for a rupee and sells them at 3 for a rupee. His gain per cent wll be :
a) 76$2/3$%
b) 56$2/3$%
c) 66$2/3$%
d) 46$2/3$%
Answer »Answer: (c)
C.P. of 5 pencils = Rs.1.
S.P. of 5 pencils = Rs.$5/3$
Gain = $5/3 - 1 = 2/3$
Gain % = ${2/3}/1 × 100 = 66{2}/3%$
Using Rule 13,
Here, a = 5, x = 1, b = 3, y = 1
Gain% = $({ay - bx}/{bx} × 100%)$
= ${5 - 3}/3 × 100% = 200/3 = 66{2}/3%$
Question : 3
100 oranges are bought for Rs.350 and sold at the rate of Rs.48 per dozen. The percentage of profit or loss is :
a) 15% gain
b) 14$2/7$% loss
c) 15% loss
d) 14$2/7$% profit
Answer »Answer: (d)
C.P. of 100 oranges = Rs.350
S.P. of 12 oranges = Rs.48
S.P. of 100 oranges
= $48/12 × 100$ = Rs.400
Profit = Rs. (400 - 350) = Rs.50
Profit % = $50/350 × 100 = 100/7 = 14{2}/7%$
Using Rule 13,
Here, a = 100, x = 350, b = 100, y = $48/12$ × 100 = 400
Gain% = $({ay - bx}/{bx})$ × 100%
= ${100 × 400 - 100 × 350}/{100 × 350}$ × 100%
= ${40 - 35}/35 × 100%$
= $100/7% = 14{2}/7$%
Question : 4
A man buys 12 articles for Rs.12 and sells them at the rate of Rs.1.25 per article. His gain percentage is :
a) 25%
b) 15%
c) 20%
d) 18%
Answer »Answer: (a)
Using Rule 1,
If S.P > C.P. then there will be profit
Profit = S.P. - C.P.
Profit% = ${\text"Profit" × 100}/{\text"C.P."}$
C.P. = 12; S.P. = 12 × 1.25 = 15
Total Profit = 15 - 12 = 3
% gain = $3/12 × 100$ = 25%
Question : 5
Oranges are bought at rate of 7 for Rs.3. At what rate per hundred must they be sold to gain 33%?
a) Rs.60
b) Rs.58
c) Rs.56
d) Rs.57
Answer »Answer: (d)
Cost price of 1 orange = Rs.$3/7$
Cost price of 100 oranges
= $3/7 × 100 = 300/7$
100% = $300/7$
133% = $300/7 × 133/100$ = Rs.57
