Question :1

What the seller marked the printed price of a watch purchased at Rs. 380, so that giving 5% discount, there is 25% profit?

Answer: (b)

Let marked price be Rs. x.

∴ Discount = 5% of $x = 95/100 × x = {19x}/20$

According to question,

$380 = {19x}/20$

The percentage profit earned by selling an article for Rs. 1920 is equal to the percentage loss incurred by selling the same article for Rs. 1280. At what price should the article be sold to make 25% profit?

Answer: (b)

Let C.P. be Rs. x.

Then, ${1920 - x}/x × 100 = {x - 1280}/x × 100$

⇒ 1920 – x = x –1280 ⇒ 2x = 3200 ⇒ x = 1600.

∴ Required S.P. = 125% of Rs.1600

= Rs. $(125/100 × 1600)$ = Rs. 2000
