A plot is sold for Rs. 18,700 with a loss of 15%. At what price it should be sold to get profit of 15%.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

As question states that rate was of pair of articles,

So rate of One article = 37.40/2 = Rs. 18.70

Let Marked price = Rs X
then 85% of X = 18.70

=> X = 1870/85 = 22

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Suppose he bought 5 kg and 3 kg of tea.
Cost Price = Rs. (5 x 18 + 3 x 20) = Rs. 150.
Selling price = Rs. (8 x 21) = Rs. 168.
Profit = 168 - 150 = 18

So, Profit % = (18/150) * 100 = 12%

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Gain % = (164.36*100/2400) = 6.84 % = 7% approx

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

\begin{aligned}
Gain\% = \\ \left( \frac{(100 + \text{common gain}\%)^2}{100} - 100 \right)\% \\
= \left( \frac{(100 + 10)^2}{100} - 100 \right)\% \\
= \left( \frac{12100 - 10000}{100}\right)\% \\
= 21\%

\end{aligned}

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}
