Question Detail
The cost price of 20 articles is the same as the selling price of x articles. If the profit is 25%, find out the value of x
- 13
- 14
- 15
- 16
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}
1. 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}
2. The cost price of 20 articles is the same as the selling price of x articles. If the profit is 25% then determine the value of x.
- 14
- 15
- 16
- 17
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the cost price 1 article = Re 1
Cost price of x articles = x
S.P of x articles = 20
Gain = 20 -x
\begin{aligned}
=> 25 = \left( \frac{20-x}{x} * 100 \right) \\
=> 2000 - 100x = 25 x \\
=> x = 16
\end{aligned}
3. 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%.
- Rs 25300
- Rs 22300
- Rs 24300
- Rs 21300
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
This type of question can be easily and quickly solved as following:
Let at Rs x it can earn 15% pr0fit
85:18700 = 115:x [as, loss = 100 -15, Profit = 100 +15]
x = (18700*115)/85
= Rs.25300
4. The cost price of 20 articles is the same as the selling price of x articles. If the profit is 25%, find out the value of x
- 13
- 14
- 15
- 16

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 80 - 4x = x \\
& \Rightarrow 5x = 80 \nonumber \\
& \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{80}{5} = 16 \\

5. 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
