Explanations:

1. Total bill amounts to Rs. 2725

Cost of Indian traditional = Rs. 2250
Value after 5% discount = Rs. 2137.5
Cost of deodorant = Rs. 475
Value of 5% discount = Rs. 451.25
Combined cost before the extra discount = Rs. 2588.75

15
Extra 15% discount = 2588.75 × = Rs. 388.3125
100

Hence, option C is correct.

2. Pulses bought from Shop A = 300gms

Shopkeeper at A sells at cost price but with adulteration and makes a profit of 20%
Profit = 20%

Profit 20 1
= =
Cost 100 5
 He saves 1 unit pulses for sale of every 5 unit, which means in every 5 unit of pulses he mixes 1 unit
impurity.

Ratio of Impurity : Pulses = 1 : 5

300 5 × 300
Impurity = = 50 gm, pulses = = 250 gm
6 6

After mixing the two pulses from shop A and B

1 1
After washing, impurity = 11 % =
9 9

Ratio of Impurity: Pulses = 1 : 8

In Every 9 units of pulses 8 unit is pure pulses and 1 unit is impurity
But impurity comes from A only 1 unit of Final mixture = 1 unit of pulses from A
Total pulses = 8 unit
Pulses from A = 5 units
Pulses from B = (8 – 5) = 3 units
5 units = 250gm, so 3 units = 150gm
Hence, quantity of pulses the man bought from shop B = 150gm
Hence, correct answer is 150gm

Hence, option D is correct.

3. Let the number of apricot, bananas and Guava bought be a, b and g.

Given that a + b + g = 80

a ≥ 25, b ≥ 25, g ≥ 25

⇒ 25 ≤ a, b, c ≤ 30

As the increase in cost per guava by Re.1 and the increase in cost per banana by Rs.4 increases the
overall bill by Rs.136, g + 4b = 136

In order to satisfy, the above condition, g must be a multiple of 4. Hence, it has to be 28.

Hence, b is 27 and a is 25.

Hence, Pranav purchased 27 bananas

Hence option A is correct.

4. CP = Rs. 16000
 Available at price = Rs. 15000

Price payable after 10% discount = 90 %( 15000) = Rs. 13500

Profit = Rs. (16000 – 13500) = Rs. 2500

Market price of old phone = Rs. 1600

Exchanged at Rs 1200, Loss = Rs. (1600 – 1200) = Rs. 400

Profit after exchange = Rs. (2500 – 400) = Rs. 2100

Total profit = 13.6%

13.6% (16000) = 2176

Scratch card value = Total profit – profit after exchange

= Rs. (2176 – 2100) = Rs. 76

Hence, option B is correct.

5. Let Lila make x showpieces a day.

→ Cost Price = Rs. x per showpiece

→ Total cost = (x) (x) =Rs. x2

Selling Price per piece = Rs. (x + 30)

→ Total Selling Price = Rs. x (x + 30)

[SP – CP] × 100

Gain % = = 10%
CP

[x (x + 30) – x (x)] × 100

→ = 10
x2

→ x = 300

Her overall profit = 30x i.e. Rs. 9000.

Hence, option E is correct.

6. Let CP (tube light) = 100T, and CP (CFL) = 100C

60
Then CP (LED) = × (100T + 100C) = 60 (T + C)
100

Case1: Tube light – 5% profit, CFL – 25% profit, LED – 25% loss
105T + 125C + (T + C) 45 = 7700 → 150T + 170C = 7700 -----eq (i)

Case 2: Tube light – 20% loss, CFL – 10% profit, LED → 16.67% profit
80T + 110C + (T + C) 70 = 7800 → 150T + 180C = 7800 ------eq (ii)

By eq(ii) – eq(i)
10C = 100 → C = 10 → CP (CFL) = 100C = Rs.1000

Putting value of C in eq(ii)

150T + 1800 = 7800 → 150T = 6000 → T = 40

CP (tube light) = 100T = Rs.4000

CP (LED) = (T + C) 60 = (40 + 10) 60 = Rs.3000

Sum of all three = Rs.8000

Hence, option B is correct.

7. Amount spent on repairing of first car = Rs. (x + 5000)

Amount spent on repairing of second car = Rs. x

Total Cost price of first car = Rs. (100000 + x + 5000)

Total Cost price of second car = Rs. (150000 + x)

Selling price of first car = Rs. (105000 + x) × 1.2 × 0.75 = 0.9 (105000 + x)

Selling price of second car = Rs. (150000 + x) × 1.3 × 0.75 = 0.975 (150000 + x)

Total C.P of Romy = {0.9 (105000 + x) + 0.975 (150000 + x)}

Selling Price of Romy = {0.9 (105000 + x) + 0.975 (150000 + x)} × 1.2

Given that S.P of Romy = Rs. 360000

{0.9 (105000+x) + 0.975 (150000 + x)} × 1.2 = 360000

1.875x = 59250

x = Rs. 31600
 Total amount spent by Sanjay on repairing of both the cars = 2x + 5000 = 2 (31600) + 5000 = Rs. 68200

Hence, option D is correct.

8. Let the CP of Table = 100T and CP of chair = 100C

Sells a table at a profit of 10% and a chair at a loss of 5% making a total profit of Rs 50

10T – 5C = 50 ------------eq(i)

Sells the table at a loss of 8% and the chair at a profit of 12% the total profit Rs 24

12C – 8T = 24 -----------------eq(ii)

Solving eq1 and eq2, we get

T= 9 and C = 8

The cost price of table – 100T = 900 and chair – 100C = 800

Total CP of both = 900 + 800 = 1700

Hence, option B is correct.

9. Let the C.P. of one Watch and one Goggle be x and y respectively.

∴ The S.P. of a Watch and a Goggle will be 6y and 0.6x respectively.

∵ Profit percentage on sale of one Watch and one Goggle is 50%

{(6y + 0.6x) – (x + y)}

∴ × 100 = 50
(x + y)

⇒ 6y + 0.6x = 1.5x + 1.5y

⇒ x = 5y

0.6x – y 0.6 × 5 – 1
∴ Reqd. % = × 100 = × 100 = 200%
y 1

Hence, option C is correct.

10. Cost price of product P = Rs. 600 and Cost price of product Q = Rs. y

Marked price of P = 125%of 600 = Rs. 750

Marked price of Q = 120%of y = Rs. 1.2y

 Selling price of P = 70% × 750 = Rs. 525

108y
Selling price of Q = 90% × 1.2y =
100

1.2y – 750 = 150

y = Rs. 750

Cost price of Product Q = Rs. 750

Profit amount after selling the product Q

750 8
= 108 × – 750 = 750 × = Rs. 60
100 100

Hence, option E is correct.

11. Let Meenu has Rs x

For simplification, x = LCM (40, 90) = 360

360
Thus, price of one book = = Rs. 9
40

360
Similarly, price of one pen = = Rs. 4
90

Now, amount left after keeping money for food = Rs. (360 – 20% of 360) = Rs. 288

Price of 36 pens, P = 4 × 36 = Rs. 144

Amount left = Rs. (288 – 144) = Rs. 144

144
Therefore, No. of books Meenu buys = = 16
9

Hence, option D is correct.

12. Let P be revenue from each apple and orange.

100 5P
Cost of apples = P × =
120 6
 100 4P
Cost of oranges = P × =

Let the number of apples sold by the fruit vendor be 2n, then the number of oranges sold would be 3n.

1 5P 5P
Cost price of each apple = × =
2n 6 12n

1 4P 4P
Cost price of each orange = × =
3n 5 15n

4P 5P
Therefore, reqd. ratio = : = 16 : 25
15n 12n

Hence, option B is correct.

13. Let the listed price = Rs.100

CP of shopkeeper = 100 – 20 = Rs.80
Marked price by shopkeeper = 100 + 15 = Rs.115
Now,

100
115 = 7590 × = 6900
110

6900
⇒ 80 = × 80 = Rs.4800
115

CP of shopkeeper = Rs.4800
Profit = 6900 – 4800 = Rs.2100

2100
Profit % = × 100 = 43.75%
4800

Hence, option B is correct.

14. SP when 25% discount is allowed = 75% of 40,000 = Rs. 30,000

100
CP when there is loss of 20%= 30000 × = Rs. 37500
80

SP to gain Rs.900 = Rs. (37500 + 900) = Rs. 38400

New Discount = Rs. (40000 – 38400) = Rs. 1600

Discount % = 1600 × 100 = 4%

 40000

Hence, option E is correct.

15. Let’s say the price of 1000g of goods = Rs.1000

Now he gets 1400g of goods at Rs.1000

1000 5
Hence CP of shopkeeper for 1 g = = Rs.
1400 7

5
CP of shopkeeper for 840g = × 840 = Rs.600
7

Now instead of selling 1000g he sells 840g for Rs.900 (10% discount)
900 – 600
Profit = × 100 = 50%
600
Hence, option A is correct.
16. Let cost price of each book = ‘P’.

Books sold at 10% profit = 20% of 100 = 20

Books sold at 15% profit = 37.50% of 80 = 30

Books sold at 8% profit = 80% of 50 = 40

Books sold at 20% profit = 100 – 20 – 30 – 40 = 10

Total SP of books = [20 × 1.1P] + [30 × 1.15P] + [40 × 1.08P] + [10 × 1.2P] = 22P + 34.5P + 43.2P + 12P =
111.7P

Total SP when all the books are sold at 16% profit = 116% of 100 × P = 116P

Difference = 116P – 111.7P = 1505 (Given)

⇒ 4.3P = 1505

⇒ P = 350

Hence CP of each book = Rs.350

Therefore, option C is correct.

17. Let us assume that the milkman has 100 litres of milk and the cost price of each litre of milk is Rs. 10.
So the total amount spent by him = Rs. 100 × 10 = Rs. 1000
 Now, he sells the mixture at 10 % profit. Hence, he is selling 1 litre for Rs. 11.
Thus, the amount earned by him = Rs. 120 × 11 = Rs. 1320
Thus, he makes a profit of Rs. 320 on investment of Rs. 1000.

320 × 100
Hence, profit percentage = = 32%
1000

Therefore, option E is correct.

18. Let the selling price of the TV be Rs. 100

Hence, the profit made by Ravi is Rs. 25. Thus, the cost price of the TV must be Rs. 75

Thus, profit percentage earned by Ravi is

100
25 × = 33.33%
75

Now, Rs. 100 is obtained after a discount of 33.33 %

So let us assume that the marked price was Rs. X

2
So we have x × = 100
3

⇒ x = 150

Thus, the mark up percentage must be 100.

Hence, option B is correct.

19. Let the marked price at Himachal Pradesh be Rs. 100.

∴ Cost price = 100 – 20% of 100 = Rs. 80.

He has to pay duties, then marked price = 80 + 15% of 80 = Rs. 92.

Mr. Tevatia earned 40% on Rs. 92, thus new marked price = 140% of 92 = Rs. 128.80
 Thus, percentage change in marked price = 28.80%

Hence, option B is correct.

⇒ x = 10
Marked price of 4 Denim and 5 T-shirt = Rs. [(132 × 10) × 4 + (130 + 10) × 5] = Rs. 11780
Hence, option D is correct.
24. Initial cost price of 5 tractors = Rs. 2,00,000

Maintenance and repairing cost of the 5 tractors = Rs. 2,00,000

Final cost price of 5 tractors = 2,00,000 + 2,00,000 = Rs. 4,00,000

Now,
Profit to be made on the whole transaction = 40%

Total selling price of the 5 tractors

⇒ 4,00,000 + 40% of 4,00,000 = Rs. 5,60,000

Selling price of 1 tractor = Rs. 1,50,000

Let the average selling price of the remaining 4 tractors be y.
Thus, 4 × y + 1,50,000 = 5,60,000

5,60,000 – 1,50,000
⇒y= = Rs. 1,02,500

Let expenditure = 200

Therefore revenue = 300

Profit = 300 – 200 = 100

{We can assume any value for expenditure as we have to calculate the profit in terms of %, here 200 is
 taken to avoid fractions)

300 × 119
New Revenue = = 357
100

200 × 113
New Expenditure = = 226

X = Rs. 80.

Hence, option C is correct.

38. Let the cost price = Rs. x then the MP = Rs. (x + 3500)

When the shopkeeper offers 20% discount on the MP then the SP = (100 – 20)% of (3500 + x) = 80% of
(3500 + x )

3500 + x
= 80 × = 0.8 (3500 + x) = 2800 + 0.8x
100

Profit = Rs. 1400

Therefore, CP = SP – P = 2800 + 0.8x – 1400 = 1400 + 0.8x = x

0.2x = 1400
x = 7000 = CP

And MP = Rs. (x + 3500) = Rs. (7000 + 3500) = Rs. 10500

3500 × 100
The reqd. % = = 50%
7000

Hence, option C is correct.

39. Let the marked price = Rs. 100x

When 25% discount was offered then the SP = 75% OF 100x = Rs. 75x
Let the CP = Rs. a then according to the question,

a 2
=
75x 3

3a = 150x
a = 50x

(100x - 50x)× 100

The reqd. % = = 100%
50x

Hence, option E is correct.

40. MP = Rs. 6000

6000 × 100
CP = = Rs. 4000
100 + 50

When profit = 500 then the reqd. %

500 × 100
= = 12.5%
4000

Hence, option B is correct.

.

41. 20% discount on the marked price = 20% discount on Rs 10 = (100 – 20)% of 10 = 80% of 10 = Rs. 8 = SP

Let the cost price of one article = Rs. x then the CP of 9000 articles = 9000 × x

SP = 8 × 9000 = Rs 72000

CP = SP – Gain = 72000 – 4500 = 67500 = 9000x

x = Rs 7.5 = CP of one article

Hence, option B is correct.

42. Let CP = Rs. 100x then MP = Rs. (100x + 6000)

SP = (100 – 15)% of(100x + 6000) = 85x + 5100 = 100x + 3000
15x = 2100
x = 140
Therefore, CP = 100x = Rs. 14000

4200 × 100
The reqd. answer = = 30%
14000

Hence, option B is correct.

43. When they purchased the article on the marked price then
The amount paid by A = 5 × 200 = 1000
 By B = 6 × 200 = 1200
By C = 4 × 200 = 800
The shopkeeper will earn maximum profit only when he offers less discount
The maximum price c can pay = 800
Therefore, to get maximum profit, all of them will have to pay Rs. 800
The SP = 800 × 3 = Rs 2400
Hence, option E is correct.
44. Let us first take CP and SP of A and B (any two term)

5x + 250 3
=
7x + 250 4

20x + 1000 = 21x + 750

x = 250

The cost price of all the three articles = 5x + 7x + 3x = 15x = 15 × 250

The total profit = 250 × 3 = 750

750 × 100
The reqd. % = = 20%
15 × 250

Hence, option D is correct.

45. Let the market price of 10 kg apple be Rs X.

Amit was cheated by the shopkeeper by 6.25% i.e. Amit bought the apples for 6.25% more than market
price.106.25% X = 42.5

X = 40

Market price of 10 kg of apples is Rs 40

Market price of 1 kg apple = Rs 4
Market price of 8kg apple = 4 × 8 = Rs 32

42.5
Cost price of 8 kg Apples = × 8 = Rs 34
10
Now, while selling the apples, Amit uses faulty balance which weights 12.5% less than actual weight

He weighs 1/8 less than the actual weight

7
Quantity Sold = × (Actual Quantity)
8

8
Selling price = × Cost price
7
 8
Selling price of 8kg Apples = 32 × = 36.57
7

Profit = SP – CP = 36.57 – 34 = Rs 2.57

Hence, option C is correct.
46. Cost price for Shopkeeper = 18,000

He marked up the price by 30%.

130
MRP = × 18,000 = 23400
100

Shopkeeper given two successive discount of 10% and x%.

90
Price after first discount = × 23,400 = 21,060
100

Now, customer bought it in 20,007 Rs

100 – x
20,007 = × 21,060
100

100 – x = 95

x=5%

Hence, option D is correct.

47. Let the cost price of a table and a chair be 100T and 100C

100 T + 100 C = 2500 .....eq (i)

Profit of 11.4% on 2500, so the total selling price

111.4
= × 2500 = 2785
100

He sold table at 10% and chair at 15% profit

110 T + 115 C = 2785 ...eq (ii)

Solving eq (i) and eq (ii)

We get T = 18 and C = 7
 Price of a table and a chair = 100 T = Rs. 1800 and 100 C = Rs. 700

Difference = Rs.(1800 – 700) = Rs. 1100

Hence, option B is correct.

.48. CP of 10kg rice = CP of 15 kg of wheat

CP of 18kg of wheat = CP of 12kg of rice

So in exchange for 18kg of wheat Birbal should have got 12 kg of rice.

But Akbar made a profit of 20%

Profit 20 1
= =
Cost 100 5

It means for sale of every 5 units, 1 unit is saved out of 6 units.

So out of 12 kg which was to be given to Birbal only 5/6 is given

5
× 12 = 10kg
6

Hence, option C is correct.

49. Let the cost price of P = Rs. 100x and that of Q = Rs. 100y, so the total cost price = Rs. 100 (x + y)

When P is sold at 1% loss and Q at 10% profit and the total profit is 5%

99x + 110y = 105 (x + y)

6x = 5y eq .....(I)

When P is sold at 20% profit and Q at 10% loss

120x + 90y = 6840 eq..... (II)

Using eq. (I) and eq. (II), we get

y = 36 and x = 30

Cost price of P = 100x = Rs. 3000 and Q = 100y = Rs. 3600

Difference = Rs. (3600 – 3000) = Rs. 600

Hence, option B is correct.

50. Basmati Rice (Rs 160) and White Rice (Rs 90) mixed in ratio 3 : 4.

160 × 3 + 90 × 4
The rate of the mixture = = Rs. 120
3+4

7
Selling price = 116.67% CP = × 120 = Rs. 140
6

Further a faulty weighing machine shows 700 gms as 1000 gms.

So, weight sold is 700 gms when the price is taken for 1000 gms, so for sale of every 700 gms, 300 gms
of rice is saved

(profit of 300 gms for sale of every 700gms)

3
Profit = × 100
7

10
SP = × CP
7

10
Selling price after faulty weight measurement = × 140 = Rs. 200
7

Total profit = (Final Selling price – Cost price) = Rs. (200 – 120) = Rs. 80

80
Profit % = × 100 = 66.67%
120

Hence, option C is correct.
