A cycle agent buys 30 bicycles, of which 8 are first grade and the rest are second grade for Rs. 3150. Find at what price he must sell the first grade bicycles so that if he sells the second grade bicycles at third quarter of the price, he may make a profit of 40% on both the types of transactions ?

Answer: (c)

Let he sells first grade cycle at a rate of Rs. z per bicycle.

Then, $8z + {22 × 3}/4z = 3150 × 1.4$

⇒ 32z + 66z = 17640

⇒ 98z = 17640 ⇒ z = 180

He should sell the first grade bicycles at a rate of Rs. 180.

Question :18

A man sold an article at a loss of 20%. If he sells the article for Rs. 12 more, he would have gained 10%. The cost price of the article is

Answer: (a)

S.P = C.P$(80/100)$ ⇒ S.P = $4/5$ C.P ...(1)

S.P + 12 = C.P$(110/100)$

S.P = $11/10$ C.P - 12 ...(2)

From eqs. (1) and (2)

$4/5$ C.P = $11/10$ C.P - 12

$11/10$ C.P - $4/5$ C.P = 12

C.P = Rs. 40

CP of 1 toy = $240/120$ = 20.

Question :20

Answer: (a)
