Question Detail
Alfred buys an old scooter for Rs. 4700 and spends Rs. 800 on its repairs. If he sells the scooter for Rs. 5800, his gain percent is
- \begin{aligned} \frac{6}{19}\% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} \frac{6}{17}\% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 5\frac{5}{11}\% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 3\frac{5}{11}\% \end{aligned}
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Whenever we get this type of question, we should have formula in mind that,
Gain% = (gain/cost)*100
Cost = 4700 + 800 = Rs. 5500
S.P. = Rs. 5800
Profit = 5800 - 5500 = 300
\begin{aligned}
Gain\% = \frac{300}{5500}*100 \\
= 5\frac{5}{11}\%
\end{aligned}
1. A man buys an item at Rs. 1200 and sells it at the loss of 20 percent. Then what is the selling price of that item
- Rs. 660
- Rs. 760
- Rs. 860
- Rs. 960
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Here always remember, when ever x% loss,
it means S.P. = (100 - x)% of C.P
when ever x% profit,
it means S.P. = (100 + x)% of C.P
So here will be (100 - x)% of C.P.
= 80% of 1200
= 80/100 * 1200
= 960
2. 100 oranges are bought at the rate of Rs. 350 and sold at the rate of 48 per dozen. The percentage of profit is
- \begin{aligned} 12\frac{2}{7} \% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 13\frac{2}{7} \% \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 14\frac{2}{7} \%\end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 15\frac{2}{7} \% \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}
3. 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}
4. A pair of articles was bought for Rs. 37.40 at a discount of 15%. What must be the marked price of each of the articles ?
- Rs15
- Rs 20
- Rs 22
- Rs 25
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
5. A fruit seller sells mangoes at the rate of Rs.9 per kg and thereby loses 20%. At what price per kg, he should have sold them to make a profit of 5%
- Rs 8.81
- Rs 9.81
- Rs 10.81
- Rs 11.81
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
85 : 9 = 105 : x
x= (9×105/85)
= Rs 11.81
