Choose the correct option.

A quantity of tea is sold at Rs. 5.75 per kilogram. The total gain by selling the tea at this rate is Rs. 60. Find the quantity of tea being sold if a profit of 15% is made on the deal.


A90 kg

B60 kg

C80 kg

D70 kg

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Say total cost price of tea is x.

Then total profit at a rate of 15% is = (15x/100)

According to question,

15x/100 = 60

so x = 400

C.p of the tea is Rs. 400.

so total selling price will be = (400 60) = Rs.460

so the quantity of the tea will be = (460/5.75) = 80kg.

A man buys an article for Rs. 27.50 and sells it for Rs. 28.60. Find his gain percent.


A4%

B8%

C10%

D6%

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

If the cost price of 20 articles is equal to the selling price of 16 articles, What is the percentage of profit or loss that the merchant makes?


A15% Profit

B25% Loss

C25% Profit

D15% Loss

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let Cost price of 1 article be Re.1.
Therefore, Cost price of 20 articles = Rs. 20.
Selling price of 16 articles = Rs. 20
Therefore, Selling price of 20 articles = (20/16) * 20 = 25
Profit = Selling price - Cost price
= 25 - 20 = 5
Percentage of profit = Profit / Cost price * 100.
= 5 / 20 * 100 = 25% Profit

Choose the correct option.

A man sells an article at a profit of 25%. If he had bought it at 20 % less and sold it for Rs.10.50 less, he would have gained 30%. Find the cost price of the article?


ARs. 55.

BRs. 50.

CRs. 45.

DRs. 35.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the C.P = Rs.x.
1st S.P =125% of Rs.x.= 125*x/100= 5x/4.
2nd C.P=80% of x. = 80x/100 =4x/5.
2nd S.P =130% of 4x/5. = (130/100* 4x/5) = 26x/25.
So, 5x/4-26x/25 = 10.50 or x = 10.50*100/21=50.
=> C.P = Rs. 50.

A10%

B11%

C12%

D13%

therefore 1 kg of mixed tea price/kg=>180*(5/8)+200*(3/8)=187.5.

If on an item a company gives 25% discount, they earn 25% profit. If they now give 10% discount then what is the profit percentage.


A40%

B55%

C35%

D30%

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Lets assume the cost = Rs x.
After giving 25% discount it becomes 0.75x
Selling price = 0.75x which gives 25% profit...(1)

Thus, after giving 10% discount it becomes 0.90x
Selling price = 0.90x ......(ii)
From eq. (1) and (2),
0.90x will gives = (25 * 0.90x)/ (0.75x) = 30 % profit.

A shopkeeper allows a discount of 10% on the marked price and still gains 17% on the whole. Find at what percent above the cost price did he mark his goods.


A35%

B25%

C30%

D45%

Answer: Option C

Lets assume the marked price = Rs. x
So, 90% of x = 117 (10% discount on marked price)
=> 90/100 * x = 117
=> x = 130
So, shopkeeper marked his goods 30% above the CP.
