Solutions and Explanations

Q1. Ans.(E) Explanation − Lets MP of article A = 100x Rs. Selling price of article A

= 100x ×(100−19)

100

= 81x Rs.

Selling price of article B = 81𝑥 ×10

= 90x Rs.

Cost price of article B = 90𝑥

120× 100 = 75x

Cost price of article A = 81𝑥

125× 100 = 64.8x Rs.

Given, 81x – 75x = 840 6x = 840 x = 140 Rs. Cost price of article A = 64.8 × 140 = 9072 Rs. Q2. Ans.(A) Explanation − Let cost price of article is = 100 And profit = x ATQ,

Q6. Ans.(D) Explanation − Let cost price of bike = 100𝑥 Rs. So, Transportation cost = 25𝑥 Rs. Total cost of bike = (100𝑥 + 25𝑥) = 125𝑥Rs.

Marked price of bike = (100𝑥 + 25𝑥) ×120

100 = 150𝑥 Rs.

Selling price of bike = 150𝑥 ×7

8 = 131.25x Rs.

Profit = 131.25x – 125𝑥 = 6.25𝑥 Rs.

Total new cost price of bike = 100𝑥 + 25𝑥 ×120

100 = 130𝑥 Rs.

New profit = 131.25𝑥 – 130𝑥 = 1.25𝑥 Given,

Explanation − Ratio of their amounts at the end of 1st year = 5 : 7 : 3

Profit Share of Rancho =7

15× 22500 = 7 × 1500 = 𝑅𝑠 10500

Q31. Ans.(a) Explanation − Ramu’s discount: 8% on 8000 = 640 5% on 12000 = 600 3% on 16000 = 480 Total = 1720 on 36000 Final S.P. on Ramu sold shashi= 34280 Shyamu’s Discount: 7% on 12000 = 840 6% on 8000 = 480 5% on 16000 = 800 Total = 2120 on 36000 Final SP on Shyamu sold to Rajesh= 33880

C.P. for both of them = 36000 ×100

125= 28800

Ramu has greater Profit

Profit% for Ramu = (34280−28800)

28800× 100 = 19% (approx.)

Q32. Ans.(a) Explanation − Ramu’s Discount: 8% on 8000 = 640 4% on 12000 = 480 1% on 16000 = 160 Total = 1280 on 36000 Final SP for him = 36000 – 1280 = 34720 Profit = 34720 – 28800 = 5920 Q33.

Let Kailash car takes x litres of petrol per kilometer then, Shyam car will

take 5

6 x litres of diesel per kilometer

Also, Cost price/ litre of petrol = cost price / litre of diesel + 60% of cost price/litre of petrol. cost price / L of petrol

cost price /L of diesel=

5

2

Required ratio=cost/kilometere kailash car

cost /kilometer of shyam′s car

=x × 5

56

x × 2= 3 ∶ 1

Q34. Ans.(e) Explanation − Shyam’s car gives 20 km/litre means, it takes 0.05 litres of diesel per kilometer 5

6x → 0.05

x →.06 (litre/km for kailash car) cost price per litre of diesel = 12.5 Rs/L

so, cost per litre of petrol = 12.5

2× 5

= 31.25 Rs/L Required difference = 0.06 × 31.25 – 0.05 × 12.5 = 1.25 Q35. Ans.(c) Explanation − Let Satish, Veer, Arun and Yogesh buy ‘w’, ‘x’, ‘y’ and ‘z’ bicycle respectively. According to direction given w + x = y …(i) x + y = z …(ii) y = 20 …(iii) z − w = 24 …(iv) By solve (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) We get w = 8, x = 12, y = 20, z = 32

Let Satish, Veer, Arun and Yogesh get ‘a%’, ‘b%’, ‘c%’ and ‘d%’ discount by wholeseller on MP. According to direction given, b + c = a + d …(i) c = a + b …(ii) d=a+c …(iii) d – b = 10% …(iv) By solving (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) We get a = 5%, b = 10%, c = 15%, d = 20% Let marked price of each bicycle = 100x Satish buy 1 bicycle at = 95x Arun buy 1 bicycle at = 85x Profit earn by Satish = 800x – 8 × 95x = 800x – 760x = 40x Profit earn by Arun = 800x – 8 × 85x = 800x – 680 x = 120x

Desired % =120x – 40x

40x× 100 =

80𝑥

40𝑥× 100 = 200%

Q36. Ans.(e) Explanation − Total bicycle Yogesh bought = 32 Let M.P. = 100x C.P. of 32 bicycle = 32 × 80𝑥 =2560x S.P. of 8 bicycle at 10% discount = 8 × 90x = 720x S.P. of 18 bicycle at 30% discount = 18 × 70x = 1260x S.P. of 6 bicycle on M.P. = 6 × 100x = 600x Total S.P. = 720x + 1260x + 600x = 2580x Profit = 2580x – 2560x = 20x 100x = 20,000 x = 200 Total profit = 20 × 200 = 4000 Q37.

Let the marked price of a chair be = Rs 50 And the marked price of a table be = Rs 70 Also, no. of chairs bought be = 9x And no. of tables bought be = 8x

C.P. of chair for Raghav =4

5× 50 = 40

C.P. of table for Raghav =3

4× 70 = 52.5

Total C.P. for Raghav = 9𝑥 × 40 + 8𝑥 × 52.5 = 780𝑥 Total S.P. for Raghav = 7𝑥 × 40 × 1.5 × 0.75 + 8𝑥 × 52.5 × 1.5 × 0.8

Q42. Ans.(a) Explanation −

C. P. of car =90

100× 4,50,000 = Rs. 4,05,000

C. P. of scooter =1

10× 4,05,000 = Rs. 40,500

M. P. of scooter = Rs. 50,625 C.P. of car and scooter = 4,05,000 + 40,500

= 4,45,500

S. P of car and scooter =130

100× 4,45,500 = Rs. 5,79,150

S. P. of car = 5,79,150 −110

100× 40,500

shopkeeper sells to customer goods worth= 100×80

100= 80 𝑘𝑔

profit= 120-80=40kg

Required %= 40×100

80

∴ Profit % = 50%

Q45. Ans.(b) Explanation − CP of 150 calculators = 150 × 250 = Rs. 37500

Total CP = 37500 + 2500 = Rs. 40000 MP of 150 calculators = 150 × 320 = Rs. 48000.

SP after discount = 48000 ×95

100= Rs. 45600.

Q46. Ans.(b) Explanation − Let cost price = 100 Then mark price = 100 × 3/2 = 150 Let discount percent and profit percent = x ATQ, 100(100+x)

100=

150(100–x)

100

x = 20% Q47. Ans.(b) Explanation − Let the correct weight be 1 kg and C.P. be Rs 1/g Quantity purchased by the shopkeeper = 1250 g Quantity sold by the shopkeeper = 750 g We have S.P. of 750 g = C.P. of 1250 g ⇒ S.P. of 750 g = Rs 1000

⇒ C.P. of 750 g = 1000×750

1250= 600 Rs

Therefore, profit by selling 750 g of item = 1000 − 600 = 𝑅𝑠 400

Profit percentage =400

600× 100

= 66.67% Q48. Ans.(c) Explanation – Let the cost price be Rs. 100 Then marked price will be Rs. 150 He gives 10% discount, so

Selling price = 150 ×90

100= Rs. 135

As he cheats and gives 20% less in weight,

Cost price becomes = 100 ×80

100= Rs. 80

∴ Profit percentage =135 − 80

80× 100 ≈ 68%

= 41

6%

Q50. Ans.(c) Explanation −

To get a profit of 137

11% at a selling price of Rs. 125, the C.P. of an item

must be equal to 125 ×1100

1250

= 110 We need to reduce C.P. (or expenditure) by 10, and this 10 has to be reduced from expenditure on raw materials.
