Question : 1 [SSC CGL Prelim 2002]
If the sales tax be reduced from 3$1/2$% to 3$1/3$% , what difference does it make to a person who purchases an article whose marked price is 8,400 ?
a) Rs.20
b) Rs.14
c) Rs.10
d) Rs.15
Answer »Answer: (b)
Difference in percentage of sales tax
= $7/2 - 10/3 = {21 - 20}/6 = 1/6$%
Required difference
= $1/6$% of 8400
= $1/6 × 1/100 × 8400$ = Rs.14
Question : 2 [SSC CPO S.I.2003]
By selling an article at $2/3$ of the marked price, there is a loss of 10%. The profit percent, when the article is sold at the marked price, is
a) 20%
b) 35%
c) 40%
d) 30%
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$[100/{100 - \text"Loss%"}]$
Suppose marked price = Rs.x
S.P.= Rs.${2x}/3$
CP = ${2x}/{3 × 90} × 100 = {20x}/27$
Profit at marked price = $x - {20x}/27 = {7x}/27$
Per cent profit = ${{7x}/27}/{{20x}/2} × 100$
= ${7x}/27 × 27/{20x} × 100$ = 35%
Question : 3 [SSC CPO S.I.2008]
A tradesman allows a discount of 15% on the marked price. How much above the cost price must he mark his goods as to gain 19%?
a) 34%
b) 25%
c) 30%
d) 40%
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let the CP of the article be Rs.100.
SP = Rs. 119
If the marked price be Rs.x, then,
$85/100 of x$ = 119
$85/100 × x = 119$
$x = {119 × 100}/85 = 140$
Clearly, the marked price is 40% above the cost price.
Question : 4 [SSC CPO S.I.2008]
Rita bought a television set with 20% discount on the labelled price. She made a profit of Rs.800 by selling it for Rs.16,800. The labelled price of the set was
a) Rs.18,000
b) Rs.20,800
c) Rs.24,000
d) Rs.20,000
Answer »Answer: (d)
Let the marked price of the television be Rs.x.
CP for Rita = Rs.(16800 - 800) = Rs.16000
80% of x = 16000
$x = {16000 × 100}/80$ = Rs.20000
Question : 5 [SSC CGL Tier-1 2011]
The cost price of an article is Rs.800. After allowing a discount of 10%, a gain of 12.5% was made. Then the marked price of the article is
a) Rs.1,000
b) Rs.1,200
c) Rs.1,300
d) Rs.1,100
Answer »Answer: (a)
Let the marked price of the article be Rs.x.
${90x}/100 = {800 × 112.5}/100$
${9x}/10 = 900$
$x = {900 × 10}/9$ = Rs.1000
