Question : 21 [SSC CGL Prelim 2000]

A, B and C are partners of a company. During a particular year A received one-third of the profit, B received one-fourth of the profit and C received the remaining Rs.5,000. How much did A receive?

a) Rs.4,000

b) Rs.5,000

c) Rs.3,000

d) Rs.1,000

Answer: (a)

Let the profit be x

According to question,

$(1 - 1/3 - 1/4)x$ = Rs.5000

or $({12 - 4 - 3}/12)x$ = Rs.5000

$5/12x$ = Rs.5000

x = ${5000 × 12}/5$

= $1/3 = {5000 × 12}/{5 × 3}$ = Rs.4000

Question : 22 [SSC CGL Prelim 2008]

The ratio, in which tea costing Rs.192 per kg is to be mixed with tea costing Rs.150 per kg so that the mixed tea, when sold for Rs.194.40 per kg, gives a profit of 20%, is

a) 3 : 5

b) 2 : 5

c) 5 : 3

d) 5 : 2

Answer: (b)

By the rule of alligation, CP of mixed tea

= $100/120 × 194.40$ = Rs.162 /kg

∴ Required ratio = $12/30 = 2/5$ or 2 : 5

a) 9%

b) 10%

c) 3%

d) 1%

Answer: (b)

Using Rule 1,

Let Cost price = 10x

Selling price = 11x

Gain per cent = ${11x - 10x}/{10x} × 100$

= $x/{10x} × 100 = 10%$

Question : 24 [SSC MTS 2013]

The ratio in which the Darjeeling tea at Rs.32 per kg is mixed with the Assam tea at Rs.25 per kg so as to gain 20% by selling the mixture at Rs.32.40 per kg is

a) 3 : 4

b) 4 : 3

c) 5 : 2

d) 2 : 5

Answer: (d)

If the C.P. of the mixture be Rs.x per kg, then

$x = 120/100 = 32.40$

x = ${32.40 × 100}/120 = 27$

∴ Required ratio = 2 : 5

Question : 25 [SSC Investigator 2010]

An article is sold at 5% profit. The ratio of selling price and cost price will be

a) 20 : 21

b) 1 : 5

c) 21 : 20

d) 5 : 1

Answer: (c)

Let C.P. be 100 then,

S.P. = 105 [gain being 5%]

Required ratio = 105 : 100 = 21 : 20

Using Rule 3,

$\text"C.P."/\text"S.P."= 100 /{100 + \text"Profit%"} = 100/{100 + 5}$

= $100/105 = 20/21$ = 20 : 21
