Question Detail
A man buys an article for Rs. 27.50 and sells it for Rs 28.60. Find his gain percent
- 1%
- 2%
- 3%
- 4%
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
So we have C.P. = 27.50
S.P. = 28.60
Gain = 28.60 - 27.50 = Rs. 1.10
\begin{aligned}
Gain\% = \left( \frac{Gain}{Cost} * 100 \right)\% \\
= \left( \frac{1.10}{27.50} * 100 \right)\% = 4\%
\end{aligned}
1. Akhil purchased 70kg vegetable at Rs. 420, then sold them at the rate of Rs. 6.50 per kg, find the profit percent.
- \begin{aligned} 8\frac{1}{3}\% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 7\frac{1}{3}\% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 6\frac{1}{3}\% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 5\frac{1}{3}\% \end{aligned}
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Please note in this type of questions, get the value of 1 kg to solve this question, lets solve it.
C.P. of 1 Kg = 420/70 = Rs. 6
Selling Price = 6.50
Gain = Rs. 0.50
\begin{aligned}
Gain\% = \frac{.50}{6}*100 \\
= 8\frac{1}{3}\%
\end{aligned}
2. A person incurs a loss of 5% be selling a watch for Rs. 1140. At what price should the watch be sold to earn 5% profit.
- Rs.1200
- Rs.1230
- Rs.1260
- Rs.1290
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the new S.P. be x, then.
(100 - loss%):(1st S.P.) = (100 + gain%):(2nd S.P.)
\begin{aligned}
=>\left( \frac{95}{1140} = \frac{105}{x} \right) \\
=> x = 1260
\end{aligned}
3. If the cost price of 12 pens is equal to the selling price of 8 pens, the gain percent is ?
- 12%
- 30%
- 50%
- 60%
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Friends, we know we will need gain amount to get gain percent, right. So lets get gain first.
Let the cost price of 1 pen is Re 1
Cost of 8 pens = Rs 8
Selling price of 8 pens = 12
Gain = 12 - 8 = 4
\begin{aligned}
Gain\% = \left( \frac{Gain}{Cost} * 100 \right)\% \\
= \left( \frac{4}{8} * 100 \right)\% = 50\%
\end{aligned}
4. Which among following options are true relating to this question :
Ram sold a card and makes 20% profit out of it, how much profit he actually earned ?
1. Difference between cost price of card and selling price of card is Rs. 40.
2. Selling price of card is 120% of cost price of card.
- Either 1 and 2 are sufficient to answer
- Either 1 and 2 are not sufficient to answer
- 1 is sufficient to answer alone, 2 is not sufficient to answer
- 2 is sufficient to answer alone, 1 is not sufficient to answer
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
From the question it is clear that, Gain is 20%
From 1, it is clear that S.P. - C.P. = 40, so it is sufficient to get answer.
While 2 is not sufficient to get answer.
5. A book was sold for Rs 27.50 with a profit of 10%. If it were sold for Rs. 25.75, then would have been percentage of profit and loss ?
- 2% Profit
- 3% Profit
- 2% Loss
- 3% Loss
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Please remember
\begin{aligned}
S.P. = \left( \frac{100+gain\%}{100} * C.P \right)\\
\text{So, C.P. = }\left( \frac{100}{110} * 25.75 \right)\\
\text{When S.P. = 25.75 then } \\
Profit = 25.75 - 25 = Re. 0.75 \\
Profit\% = \frac{0.75}{25} * 100 = 3\%
\end{aligned}

What is the best way to increase your prboelm solving skills? I'm working in a public school and students come up to me with issues with other kids, and some of their issues I just don't know what to do. How would YOU increase your prboelm solving skill if you were in my situation?
