shape Q1

When a plot is sold for Rs. 18,700, the owner loses 15%. At what price must that plot be sold in order to gain 15%?
    A. Rs. 21,000 B. Rs. 22,500 C. Rs. 25,300 D. Rs. 25,800

SPLessons

85 : 18700 = 115 : x
[latex]\Rightarrow = (\frac{18700 \times 115}{85})[/latex]
Hence, S.P. = Rs. 25,300.

shape Q2

100 oranges are bought at the rate of Rs. 350 and sold at the rate of Rs. 48 per dozen. The percentage of profit or loss is:
    A. 14 [latex]\frac {2}{7}[/latex] % gain B. 15 % gain C. 14 [latex]\frac {2}{7}[/latex] loss D. 15 % loss

SPLessons

C.P. of 1 orange = Rs.[latex]\frac {350}{100}[/latex] = Rs. 3.50
S.P. of 1 orange = Rs. [latex](\frac {48}{12})[/latex] = Rs. 4
i.e, Gain% = [latex](\frac {0.50}{3.50} \times 100)%[/latex] = [latex]\frac {100}{7}[/latex]% = Rs. 14 [latex]\frac {2}{7}[/latex] %

shape Q3

A shopkeeper sells one transistor for Rs. 840 at a gain of 20% and another for Rs. 960 at a loss of 4%. His total gain or loss percent is:
    A. 5% loss B. 5 [latex]\frac {15}{17}[/latex]% gain C. 6% gain D. None of these

SPLessons

C.P. of [latex]{1}^{st}[/latex] transistor = Rs. [latex](\frac {100}{120} \times 840)[/latex] = Rs. 700
C.P. of [latex]{2}^{nd}[/latex] transistor = Rs. [latex](\frac {100}{96} \times 960)[/latex] = Rs. 1000
So, total C.P. = Rs. (700 + 1000) = Rs. 1700.
Total S.P. = Rs. (840 + 960) = Rs. 1800.
i.e, Gain % = [latex](\frac {100}{1700} \times 100) %[/latex] = 5 [latex]\frac {15}{17}[/latex]

shape Q4

A trader mixes 26 kg of rice at Rs. 20 per kg with 30 kg of rice of other variety at Rs. 36 per kg and sells the mixture at Rs. 30 per kg. His profit percent is:
    A. No profit, no loss B. 8% C. 5% D. 10%

SPLessons

C.P. of 56 kg rice = Rs. (26 x 20 + 30 x 36) = Rs. (520 + 1080) = Rs. 1600.
S.P. of 56 kg rice = Rs. (56 x 30) = Rs. 1680.
i.e, Gain = [latex](\frac {80}{1600} \times 100) %[/latex] = 5 %

shape Q5

A cycle is bought for Rs.900 and sold for Rs.1080, find the gain percent?
    A. 10% B. 20% C. 30% D. 40%

SPLessons

Gain % = [latex]\frac {Gain \times 100}{C. P}[/latex]
C.P = 900, Gain = 180
Then Gain % = [latex]\frac {180 \times 100}{900}[/latex]
[latex]\Rightarrow \frac {180}{9}[/latex] = 20%
