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 D

Explanation:

In this type of question, we will first find total C.P. of items, then total S.P. of items, then we will get gain or loss. From which we can easily calculate its percentage.

So lets solve it now.
\begin{aligned}
\text{So, C.P. of 1st transistor = }\\
\left( \frac{100}{120} * 840 \right) = 700 \\

\text{C.P. of 2nd transistor = }\\
\left( \frac{100}{96} * 960 \right) = 1000 \\

\text{Total C.P. = 1700 }\\
\text{Total S.P. = 1800 }\\
\text{Gain = 1800 - 1700 = 100}\\
\text{Gain% = } \left( \frac{100}{1700} * 100 \right) \\
= 5\frac{15}{17}\%
\end{aligned}

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.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

We know, C.P. = 5000
S.P. = 4000
Loss = 5000 - 4000 = 1000
\begin{aligned}
Loss\% = \left( \frac{Loss}{Cost} * 100 \right)\% \\
= \left( \frac{1000}{5000} * 100 \right)\% = 20\%
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let C.P.= Rs. 100.
Then, Profit = Rs. 320,
S.P. = Rs. 420.

New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125
New S.P. = Rs. 420.

Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295

Required percentage = (295/420) * 100
= 70%(approx)

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}
