Question : 11 [SSC CGL Prelim 2000]
A sells a bicycle to B at a profit of 20%. B sells it to C at a profit of 25%. If C pays Rs.225/- for it, the cost price of the bicycle for A is :
a) Rs.110
b) Rs.150
c) Rs.120
d) Rs.125
Answer »Answer: (b)
Let the cost price of the bicycle for A be Rs.x
Cost price for B = selling price for A = 1.20x
Cost price for C = selling price for B = (1.25) (1.20x) = 1.5x
But 1.5x = 225 ⇒ x = $225/1.5$ = Rs.150
The cost price of the bicycle for A = Rs.150
Using Rule 15,If A sells an article to B at a profit (loss) of $r_1$% and B sells the same article to C at a profit (loss) of $r_2$% then the cost price of article for C will be given byC.P of article for C= C.P. of A × $({1 ± r_1}/100)({1 ± r_2}/100)$(Positive and negative sign conventions are used for profit and loss.)
Here, $r_1= 20%, r_2$ = 25%
C.P. for C = C.P. for A
$(1 + r_1/100)(1 + r_2/100)$
225 = C.P. for A
$(1 + 20/100)(1 + 25/100)$
C.P. for A = ${225 × 100 × 100}/{120 × 125}$ = Rs.150
Question : 12 [SSC CHSL 2012]
A sells a cycle to B at a profit of 10%, B sells to C at a profit of 20%. If C pays Rs.264 for it, how much did A pay for it?
a) Rs.200
b) Rs.234
c) Rs.225
d) Rs.220
Answer »Answer: (a)
Let the C.P. of A be Rs.x, then
$x × 110/100 × 120/100 = 264$
$x = {264 × 100 × 100}/{110 × 120}$ = Rs.200
Using Rule 15,
Here, $r_1 = 10%, r_2$ = 20%
C.P. for C = C.P. for A
$(1 + r_1/100)(1 + r_2/100)$
264 = C.P. for A
$(1 + 10/100)(1 + 20/100)$
C.P. for A = ${264 × 100 × 100}/{110 × 120}$ = Rs.200
Question : 13 [SSC Assistant Grade-III 2012]
A man purchased an article and sold it to B at a profit of 25% and B sold it to C at a loss of 10% and C paid Rs.675 for it. For how much did A purchase it (in Rs.) ?
a) 625
b) 550
c) 600
d) 575
Answer »Answer: (c)
Let the C.P. of A be Rs.x, then
${x × 125}/100 × 90/100$ = 675
$x = {675 × 100 × 100}/{125 × 90}$ = Rs.600
Using Rule 15,
Here, $r_1 = 25%, r_2$ = 10%, (Loss)
C.P. for C = C.P. for A
$(1 + r_1/100)(1 + r_2/100)$
675 = C.P. for A
$(1 + 25/100)(1 + 10/100)$
C.P. for A = ${675 × 100 × 100}/{125 × 90}$ = Rs.600
Question : 14 [SSC CHSL 2012]
A sells a cycle to B at a profit of 5% and B sells it to C at a profit of 10%. If C pays Rs.2310 for it, the cost price of A is
a) Rs.2000
b) Rs.2010
c) Rs.1900
d) Rs.2100
Answer »Answer: (a)
Let the C.P. for A be Rs.x, then
$x × 105/100 × 110/100$ = 2310
$x = {2310 × 100 × 100}/{105 × 110}$ = Rs.2000
Using Rule 15,
Here, $r_1 = 5%, r_2$ = 10%
C.P. for C = C.P. for A
$(1 + r_1/100)(1 + r_2/100)$
2310 = C.P. for A
$(1 + 5/100)(1 + 10/100)$
C.P. for A = ${2310 × 100 × 100}/{105 × 110}$ = 2000
