Q1
A scientist mixes 10% water in his solution but he is not content with it so he again mixes 10% more water in the previous mixture. What is the profit percentage of the scientist if he sells it at cost price:
- A. 15%
B. 21%
C. 18%
D. 16%
Let Initial Quantity of Solution = 100 litre
After mixing 10% water, Quantity of the mixture = [latex]110 \times \frac {110}{100}[/latex] = 121 litre
CP of One litre of Solution = Rs.1
Total CP = Rs.100
Total SP = Rs.121
Profit = 121 – 100 = 21
Profit % = [latex]21 \times \frac {100}{100}[/latex] = 21%
Q2
A fruit vendor professes to sell fruits at the cost price, but uses false weights. He gains 40% in this manner. What weight does he substitute for one kilogram?
- A. 745 1/3 g
B. 750 g
C. 714 2/7 g
D. 800 g
Let the weight substituted for 1 kg = xg
So, [latex]\frac {100 - x}{x} \times 1000 = 40[/latex]
Solving x = 714 [latex]\frac {2}{7}[/latex] g
Q3
A trader sells Rice to a customer at a profit of x% over the cost price, besides if he cheats his customer by giving 950 g instead of 1Kg. Thus his overall percentage is 20%. Then what is the value of x?
- A. 10
B. 12
C. 14
D. 15
[latex]1000 \times (100 + \frac {x}{100}) = 950 \times \frac {120}{100}[/latex]
x = 14
Q4
The profit Percentage on 3 bikes are 15%, 35% and 10% and the ratio of CP is 5:3:1. Also the ratio of the Bike sold of P, Q and R is 2:3:5. Then the overall approximate Profit Percentage is?
- A. 19%
B. 20%
C. 16%
D. 21%
[latex]5x \times 2y + 3x \times 3y + x \times 5y = 24xy[/latex]
Total Profit = [latex](5x \times 2y \times \frac {15}{100} )+(3x \times 3y \times \frac {35}{100})+(x \times 5y \times \frac {10}{100})[/latex]
= [latex]\frac {515xy}{100}[/latex]
= 5.15xy
Overall Profit Percentage = [latex]5.15xy \times \frac {100}{24xy}[/latex] = 21.46%
Q5
When a shopkeeper reduces the selling price of an article from 1180 to 1126 his loss increases by 5% . What is the cost price of article?
- A. 1050
B. 1060
C. 1070
D. 1080
5% of CP = 1180 – 1126
CP = [latex]54 \times \frac {100}{5}[/latex] = 1080
