Question : 21 [SSC CGL Prelim 2002]
A man buys a cycle for Rs.1400 and sells it at a loss of 15%. What is the selling price of the cycle?
a) Rs.1160
b) Rs.1190
c) Rs.1202
d) Rs.1000
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 3,If an object is sold on r% Profit.
then,S.P. = C.P$[{100 + \text"Profit%"}/100]$orC.P. = S.P$[100/{100 + \text"Profit%"}]$
Similarly, If an object is sold on r% loss, then
S.P. = C.P.$[{100 - \text"Loss%"}/100]$orC.P. = S.P$[100/{100 - \text"Loss%"}]$
Selling price = $1400 × {100 - 15}/100$
= $1400 × 85/100$ = Rs.1190
Question : 22 [SSC CGL Tier-II 2014]
There is a profit of 20% on the cost price of an article. The % of profit, when calculated on selling price is
a) 33$1/3$%
b) 20%
c) 16$2/3$%
d) None of these
Answer »Answer: (c)
C.P. of article = Rs.x
S.P. = ${120x}/100$ = Rs.${6x}/5$
Gain = ${6x}/5 - x = {6x - 5x}/5$ = Rs.$x/5$
Gain per cent = $\text"Gain"/ \text"S.P."$ × 100
= ${x/5}/{{6x}/5} × 100 = 50/3 = 16{2}/3%$
Question : 23 [SSC CGL Prelim 2002]
On selling an article for Rs.651, there is a loss of 7%. The cost price of that article is
a) Rs.793
b) Rs.751
c) Rs.744
d) Rs.700
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let the C.P. of article be 'x '
Since, (100 - 7)% x = 651
Since, x = $651/93 × 100$ = Rs.700
Using Rule 3,If an object is sold on r% Profit.
then,S.P. = C.P$[{100 + \text"Profit%"}/100]$orC.P. = S.P$[100/{100 + \text"Profit%"}]$
Similarly, If an object is sold on r% loss, then
S.P. = C.P.$[{100 - \text"Loss%"}/100]$orC.P. = S.P$[100/{100 - \text"Loss%"}]$
= $651(100/{100 - 7}) = {651 × 100}/93$
C.P. = Rs.700
Question : 24 [SSC CGL Tier-I 2010]
If there is a profit of 20% on the cost price of an article, the per centage of profit calculated on its selling price will be
a) 8$1/3$
b) 16$2/3$
c) 24
d) 20
Answer »Answer: (b)
Using Rule 1,
Simple Approach
If the cost price is Rs.100, then selling price = Rs.120 and gain = Rs.20
Required gain %
= $20/120 × 100 = 50/3 = 16{2}/3$%
Question : 25 [SSC CGL Prelim 2003]
A man bought an old typewriter for Rs.1200 and spent Rs.200 on its repair. He sold it for Rs.1680. His profit per cent is :
a) 8%
b) 10%
c) 20%
d) 16%
Answer »Answer: (c)
Using Rule 1,
Total cost of typewriter = Rs. (1200 + 200) = Rs.1400
S.P. = Rs.1680
Profit = Rs. (1680 - 1400) = Rs.280
Profit % = $280/1400 × 100 = 20%$
