Question : 11 [SSC CHSL 2011]
A shopkeeper gains Rs.56 on a toy after allowing 23% discount on its marked price. If his gain is 10%, then the marked price of the toy is :
a) Rs.800
b) Rs.810
c) Rs.740
d) Rs.560
Answer »Answer: (a)
Let marked price of toy be x
S.P. = $x × 77/100 = {77x}/100$
C.P. = $x × 77/100 × 100/110 = {7x}/10$
${77x}/100 - {7x}/10 = 56$
${7x}/100 = 56$
$x = {100 × 56}/7$ = Rs.800

d) Rs.40
Answer »Answer: (d)

Question : 15 [SSC CISF 2011]
A discount of 24% on the marked price of an article is allowed and then the article is sold for Rs.342. The marked price of the article is
a) Rs.490
b) Rs.500
c) Rs.430
d) Rs.450
Answer »Answer: (d)
If the marked price of article be x, then
${x × 76}/100 = 342$
$x = {342 × 100}/76$ = Rs.450
Using Rule 2,
Here, D = 24%, S.P. = Rs.342, M.P. = ?
M.P. = $\text"S.P. × 100"/{100 - D}$
= ${342 × 100}/{100 - 24}$
= $34200/76$ = Rs.450
