A TV is purchased at Rs. 5000 and sold at Rs. 4000, find the lost percent.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let the Cost Price of one article = Rs. 1
CP of x articles = Rs. x
CP of 20 articles = 20
Selling price of x articles = 20

Profit = 25% [Given]

$$\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \left (\dfrac{SP - CP }{CP}\right ) = \dfrac{25}{100} = \dfrac{1}{4} & \Rightarrow \dfrac{\left(20-x \right )}{x} = \dfrac{1}{4} \\ & \Rightarrow 80 - 4x = x \\ & \Rightarrow 5x = 80 \nonumber \\ & \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{80}{5} = 16 \\ \end{aligned}$$

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Question seems a bit tricky, but it is very simple.
Just calculate all Cost price, then get 150% of CP.

C.P. = 10000 + 5000 + 1000 = 16000

150% of 16000 = 150/100 * 16000 = 24000

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

We need to get the Total selling price to solve this question. Because after getting selling price we can get profit or loss, then we can calculate profit% or loss%

So lets solve this:

Price Received by selling one fourth of the material at a loss of 20% =
(1/4) * 600 * (80/100) = Rs. 120

Price Received by remaining material at a gain of 10% =
(3/4) * 600 * (110/100) = Rs. 495 [Note: 1-(1/4) = 3/4]

Total Selling Price = 120 + 465 = Rs. 615

Profit = 615 - 600 = 15

$$\begin{aligned} Profit\% = \left( \frac{Gain}{Cost} * 100 \right)\% \\ = \left( \frac{15}{600} * 100 \right)\% \\ = \frac{5}{2}\% = 2\frac{1}{2}\% \end{aligned}$$

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

So before solving this question we will get the C.P. and S.P. of 1 article to get the gain percent.

C.P. of 1 orange = 350/100 = Rs 3.50
S.P. of one orange = 48/12 = Rs 4 [note: divided by 12 as 1 dozen contains 12 items]
Gain = 4 - 3.50 = Rs 0.50
$$\begin{aligned} Gain\% = \frac{0.50}{3.50}*100 \\ = \frac{100}{7}\% = 14\frac{2}{7}\% \end{aligned}$$

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
