    A. Rs. 250 B. Rs. 125 C. Rs. 225 D. Rs. 200


Initial amount spent on trouser by the man = Rs. 1250
Now, by the reduction of 20% in 1250, he can buy t-shirt too.
[latex]\Rightarrow[/latex] t-shirt cost = 20% of 1250 = 20 x [latex]\frac {1250}{100}[/latex] = 250
Therefore, the price of the t-shirt = Rs. 250.

shape Q2

While selling a router, a shopkeeper gives a discount of 15%. If he gives a discount of 20%, he earns Rs. 51 less as profit. What is the original marked price of the router?
    A. Rs. 1000 B. Rs. 1020 C. Rs. 1040 D. Rs. 980


Let the marked price of the router be Rs. P
From the given data,
p [latex]\times \frac {85}{100} - P \times \frac {80}{100} = 51[/latex]
p [latex]\times \frac {5}{100} = 51[/latex]
[latex]\Rightarrow P = \frac {5100}{5} = 1020[/latex]
Hence, the original marked price of the router is Rs. 1020.

shape Q3

Selling price of a cellphone is increased by 20%. For this sale is decreased by 30%. Find the effect of total sales?
    A. 16 % B. 14.5 % C. 12 % D. 10.5 %


Let cost of each cell phone = Rs.100 & Sale = 100 phones.
Money receipt = Rs.(100 x 100) = Rs.10,000
New cost per cellphone = Rs.120 and New sale = 70 phones
New Money Receipt = Rs.(70 x 120) = Rs.8400
Then the effect of sales = decrease in money receipt = [latex]\frac {1600}{10000} \times 100 = 16 %[/latex]

    A. 33.33% B. 22.22% C. 11.11% D. 1%


Let the cost price of 1 article = Rs. 1
From the given data,
Then, the selling price of 1 article = [latex]\frac {22}{18} = \frac {11}{9}[/latex]
Then, Profit = SP - CP = [latex]\frac {11}{9} - 1 = \frac {2}{9}[/latex]
Required, profit % = Profit/CP x 100
= [[latex]\frac {(\frac {2}{9})} {1} [/latex]] x 100
= 200/9
= 22.222%.

Gain = Rs. 20
Profit % = Gain/cost price x 100 = 20/50 x 100 = 40%
[latex]\frac {Gain}{cost price} \times 100 = \frac {20}{50} \times = 40%[/latex]
