shape Q1

If C.P. of 21 oranges is equal to the S.P. of 18 oranges, then profit percent is
    A. 7 [latex]\frac {1} {7}[/latex]% B. 5 [latex]\frac {5} {9}[/latex]% C. 16 [latex]\frac {2} {3}[/latex]% D. 7 [latex]\frac {1} {3}[/latex]%

SPLessons

[latex]\frac {SP - CP} {SP} \times 100%[/latex] = [latex]\frac {3} {18} \times 100[/latex] = 16 [latex]\frac {2} {3}[/latex]%

shape Q2

A man sold two horses for Rs. 3000 each gaining 25% on the one and losing 25% on the other. His loss percent is
    A. 7 [latex]\frac {1} {4}[/latex]% B. 6 [latex]\frac {1} {4}[/latex]% C. 7 [latex]\frac {1} {3}[/latex]% D. 5 [latex]\frac {5} {9}[/latex]%

SPLessons

[latex]2.5 \times 2.5 = 6 \frac {1} {4}[/latex]%

shape Q3

Rajan buys lemons at the rate of 9 for 80p and sells them at 11 for 120p. His gain per lemon is
    A. [latex]\frac {200} {99}[/latex] B. [latex]\frac {11} {99}[/latex] C. [latex]\frac {120} {99}[/latex] D. [latex]\frac {5} {9}[/latex]

SPLessons

CP = [latex]\frac {80} {9}[/latex]; SP = [latex]\frac {120} {11}[/latex]
i.e, Gain per lemon = [latex]\frac {120} {11} - \frac {80} {9} = \frac {200} {99}[/latex]

shape Q4

Ram sold a cow to Rahim at 20% profit . Rahim sold it to Robert at 25% profit. If Robert paid Rs. 900, then Ram had purchased the cow (in rupees) for
    A. 600 B. 700 C. 750 D. 800

SPLessons

Let Ram’s cost price = Rs. 100
i.e, Ram’s selling price
= [latex] Rs.100 \times \frac {100 + 20} {20}[/latex]
= Rs. 120
Rahim’s cost price = Rs. 120
i.e, Rahim’s selling price
= [latex] Rs.120 \times \frac {100 \times 25} {100}[/latex]
= Rs.150
Robert’s cost price = Rs. 150
If Robert’s cost price is Rs. 150, then Ram’s cost price = Rs. 100
Hence if Robert’s cost price is Rs. 900, then Ram’s cost price
= [latex] Rs.900 \times \frac {100 } {150}[/latex] = Rs. 600

shape Q5

Even after reducing the marked price of a T.V. by Rs. 320, a shopkeeper makes a profit of 15%. If the cost price be Rs. 3200, what % of profit would he have made if he had sold the T.V. at the marked price ?
    A. 10% B. 20% C. 25% D. 16 %

SPLessons

15% of 3200 = 480
M.P. = 3200 + 480 + 320 = 4000
P = 4000 – 3200 = 800
i.e, P% = [latex]\frac {800} {4000} \times[/latex] 100% = 20%
