a) Rs.120
b) Rs.150

a) 40%
b) 42$1/7$%
c) 30%
d) 42$6/7$%
Answer »Answer: (d)
If the marked price of the product be Rs.100, then

Question : 29 [SSC CPO S.I.2003]
In terms of per centage profit, which is the best transaction?
| C.P (in Rs.) | Profit (in Rs.) | |
| (I) | 36 | 17 |
| (II) | 50 | 24 |
| (III) | 40 | 19 |
| (IV) | 60 | 29 |
a) III
b) II
c) I
d) IV
Answer »Answer: (d)
Using Rule 1,
If S.P > C.P. then there will be profit
Profit = S.P. - C.P.
Profit% = ${\text"Profit" × 100}/{\text"C.P."}$
Note: Both profit and loss are always calculated on cost price only. }
Case I : Per centage Profit
= ${17 × 100}/36$ ≈ 47%
Case II : Per centage Profit
= ${24 × 100}/50 = 48%$
Case III : Per centage Profit
= ${19 × 100}/40 = 47.5%$
Case IV : Per centage Profit
= ${29 × 100}/60 = 48.3%$
Obviously, (d) is the best transaction.
Question : 30 [SSC CGL Prelim 2007]
Krishnan bought a camera and paid 20% less than its original price. He sold it at 40% profit on the price he had paid. The per centage of profit earned by Krishnan on the original price was
a) 12%
b) 32%
c) 22%
d) 15%
Answer »Answer: (a)
Let the original price be Rs.x.
= $80/100 × x = Rs.{4x}/5$
SP = ${4x}/5 × 140/100 = Rs.{28x}/25$
Gain on original price
=${28x}/25 - x ={3x}/25$
∴ Gain % = ${3x}/{25x}$ × 100 = 12%
