When fresh fish is dried it loses one-third of its weight. Reshma buys 963 kg of fresh fish at the rate of Rs. 25 per kg. She sells them when dried, at Rs. 108.5 per kg. She earns a profit of:1. Rs. 348282. Rs. 455823. Rs. 10111.54. Rs. 10753.5 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 45582 Given: Reshma bought fresh fish = 963 kg Fresh fish rate per kg = 25 per kg The selling price of dried fish = 108.5 per kg Formula required: Profit = Selling price - cost price Calculations: The Total cost price of fresh fish = 963 × 25 ⇒ Rs. 24075 When fresh fish is dried, it becomes two-thirds of its weight. (∵ 1 - 1/3 = 2/3) Then, the weight of dried fish = 963 × 2/3 ⇒ 642 kg She sold dried fish = Rs. 108.5 per kg Hence, the selling price of dried fish 903 kg = 642 x 108.5 ⇒ Rs. 69657 Profit = 69657 - 24075 ⇒ 45582 ∴ Reshma earned Rs. 45582 1/3rd is the weight loss and 2/3rd is the weight of the fish remains. So the profit is calculated according to the remaining weight of the fish. |

Rutin did a profitable deal. He earned profit equal to selling price of 4 pens on selling 12 pens. The profit percentage is:1. Profit @ 33.33%2. Profit @ 20%3. Profit @ 50%4. Profit @ 25% |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Profit @ 50% Given: Rutin earned a profit of selling price of 4 pens on selling 12 pens. Formula Used: Profit = Selling Price – Cost Price Profit percentage = (Selling price – Cost price) × 100/Cost Price Calculation: Let assume that selling price of 1 pen = Rs. 1 SP ⇒ So, selling price of 12 pens = Rs. 12 SP ⇒ Cost price of 1 pen = Rs. 1 CP ⇒ So, Cost price of 12 pens = Rs. 12 CP ⇒ Profit = Rs. 4 SP According to question Profit = Selling Price – Cost Price ⇒ 4 SP = 12 SP – 12 CP ⇒ 12 CP = 8 SP ⇒ CP/SP = 8/12 ⇒ CP/SP = 2/3 ⇒ CP ∶ SP = 2 ∶ 3 Profit percentage = (Selling price – Cost price) × 100/Cost Price ⇒ Profit percentage = (3x – 2x) × 100/2x ⇒ Profit percentage = 50% ∴ Rutin earned profit of 50%. The correct option is 3 i.e. Profit @ 50%. |

The profit by selling an item was 25%. If the item was marked 40% above the selling price then what is the ratio of the marked to the cost price of the item?1. 5 : 42. 7 : 43. 3 : 44. 1 : 4 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 7 : 4 Given: Profit% = 25% M.P = 40% above the selling price Calculation: Let the cost price of an item be Rs. 100x Then, Selling price = Rs. 100x × (125/100) = Rs. 125x Now, marked price is 40% above the selling price. M.P = Rs. 125x × (140/100) = Rs. 175x Ratio of M.P and C.P = Rs. 175x : Rs. 100x ⇒ 7 : 4 ∴ The ratio of marked price and cost price is 7 : 4 |

|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 0.8% Loss Given: S.P of 12 kg of apples = Rs. 63 Gain% = 5% Final S.P of 50 kg = Rs. 248 Formula used: C.P = (S.P × 100)/(100 + Gain%) Calculation: S.P of 1 kg apple = Rs. 63/12 C.P of 1 kg apple = Rs. (63/12) × (100/105) ⇒ Rs. 5 Final S.P of 1 kg apple = Rs. 248/50 Loss = Rs. (248/50) – Rs. 5 = Rs. 2/50 Loss% = (2/50) × (100/5)% ⇒ 4/5% = 0.8% ∴ There will be loss of 0.8% |

|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 33.3% Given: Cost price of 40 apples = Selling price of 30 apples Calculation: Profit = Selling price – Cost price Profit percentage = (Profit/Cost price) × 100 Calculation: Let the cost price be CP Let the selling price be SP CP of 40 apples = SP of 30 apples ⇒ CP × 40 = SP × 30 ⇒ CP × 4 = SP × 3 ⇒ CP/SP = 3/4 In terms of ratio CP : SP = 3 : 4 ⇒ Profit = 4 – 3 = 1 ⇒ Profit percent = 1/3 × 100 = 33.3% ∴ The profit percentage earned by shopkeeper is 33.3%. |

|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : \(33 \frac{1}{3}\)% Given: Cost price of 24 apples = Selling price of 18 apples Formula used: Profit% = (Profit/Cost price) × 100 Calculation: Cost price of 24 apples = Selling price of 18 apples ⇒ CP × 24 = SP × 18 ⇒ CP/SP = 18/24 Profit = 24 - 18 = 6 Profit% = (6/18) × 100 Profit% = (1/3) × 100 Profit% = \(33 \frac{1}{3}\)% ∴ The Profit% is \(33 \frac{1}{3}\)%. |

The cost price of 8 apples is equal to the selling price of 5 apples and cost price of 13 oranges is equal to selling price of 10 oranges, If the ratio of cost price of 1 apple to 1 orange is 5 : 2, Find the net profit percent on the sale of 8 apples and 10 oranges.1. 55%2. 40%3. 50%4. 45%5. None of these |
|||||||||
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 50% Given: Cost price of 8 apples is equal to the selling price of 5 apples Cost price of 13 oranges is equal to selling price of 10 oranges Ratio of cost price of 1 apple to 1 orange = 5 : 2 Concept: Profit% = {(Selling price – Cost price) × 100}/Cost price Calculation: Let, cost price of 1 apple = Rs.a And selling price of 1 apple = Rs.b According to question, 8 × a = 5 × b ⇒ a/b = 5/8 a = 5x b = 8x Let, cost price of 1 orange = Rs.c And selling price of 1 orange = Rs.d 13 × c = 10 × d c/d = 10/13 c =10y d = 13y Ratio of cost price of 1 apple to 1 orange = 5 : 2 a : c = 5 : 2 5x/10y = 5/2 ⇒ x = 5y
Cost price of (8 Apples + 10 Oranges) = 8 × 25y + 10 × 10y = Rs.300y Selling price of (8 Apples + 10 Oranges) = 8 × 40y + 10 × 13y = Rs.450y Profit% = {(Selling price – Cost price) × 100}/Cost price Profit% = {(450y – 300y) × 100}/300y = 50% ∴ Net profit percent on the sale of 8 apples and 10 oranges is 50%.

|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 1.4% loss Given: SP of books is equal. Profit made in one book = 12% Loss incurred in other book = 12% Formula used: Effective % formula = ± x ± y ± xy/100 Calculation: ∵ The SP of the books are same ∴ Using effective percentage formula; Profit/Loss % = 12 - 12 + [12 × (-12)]/100 = (-144)/100 = -1.4% The negative sign indicates a loss. ∴ There is a loss of 1.4% |

A man sells three motors for ₹ 5,400, ₹ 3,300 and ₹4,350 respectively. He makes 20% profit on the first and 10% profit on the second but on the whole he loses `9(3)/(8)%`.What did the third motor car cost him ?A. ₹6500B. ₹6900C. ₹5100D. ₹7200 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B S.P for the first car = ₹5,400 and profit = 20%. `therefore` C.P for the first car `= (100)/(120)xx 5,400 = ₹ 4,500` S.P for the second car = ₹ 3,300 and profit = 10% `therefore` C.P for second car `= (100)/(110) xx 3,300 = ₹ 3,000` and loss `= (75)/(8)%` S. P of three cars `= 5,400 + 3,300 + 4350 = ₹ 13,050` `therefore` Total C. P for the three cars `= (100xx 8)/(725) xx 13,050= 14,400` `therefore` C.P for third car `= 14,400 - 4,500 - 3,000 = ₹ 6,900` |

|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 56.25% Given: Cost price of 10 books is Rs. 8 Selling price of 8 books is Rs. 10 Formula Used: Profit percentage = {(SP – CP)/CP} × 100 Calculation: Let 40 books (LMC of 8 and 10) were bought. CP of 40 books = Rs. {(8 × 40)/10} = Rs. 32 Their SP = Rs. (10 × 40/8) = Rs. 50 Profit percentage = (50 – 32)/32 × 100 = 56.25% ∴ Profit% is 56.25% |

A shopkeeper sold a washing machine at half the list price and thus lost 2.5%. If he had sold it on the list price, his gain % would have been?1. 80%2. 75%3. 95%4. 90% |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 95% Given: Loss% = 2.5% SP = 1/2 × (MP) Concept: Consider C.P to be 100, then proceed to calculate the answer. Formula used: Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price Profit% = (Profit/C.P) × 100 Calculation: Let, the C.P = 100x ∵ There is a loss of 2.5%, ∴ SP = 100x - 2.5x = 97.5x ∵ SP = (1/2) × MP ⇒ MP = 2 × SP ⇒ MP = 2 × 97.5x ⇒ MP = 195x ∴ If the Article is sold at MP Profit = 195x - 100x = 95x ∴ Profit% = (Profit/C.P) × 100 = (95x/100x) × 100 = 95% |

How much additional amount (in Rs.) Rahul had to pay for the same watch in the end when compared to the amount at which he had initially purchased it?1. 4002. 7003. 1004. 200 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : 0 Initial price of the watch paid by Rahul = Rs.3000 Price paid by Mangesh for the watch = Rs.2000 Profit earned by Mangesh while selling to Manish = Rs.500 So, price paid by Manish for the watch = 2000 + 500 = Rs.2500 Profit earned by Manish while selling it back to Rahul = 20% So, price to be paid by Rahul now to Manish = [(100 + 20)/100] × 2500 = Rs.3000 ∴ The additional amount Rahul had to now pay for the same watch is Rs.0 |
