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 B

Explanation:

Let the Cost Price of 1 item = Re. 1
Cost Price of 16 items = 16
Selling Price of 16 items = 12

Loss = 16 - 12 = Rs 4

Loss % = (4/16)* 100 = 25%

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}

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

85 : 9 = 105 : x
x= (9×105/85)
= Rs 11.81

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}
