Profit and Loss
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Cost Price (C.P.) = Rs. (47000 + 8000) = Rs. 55000.
Selling Price (S.P.) = Rs. 58000.
Gain = (S.P.) - (C.P.) = Rs.(58000 - 55000) = Rs. 3000.
Gain % = | ![]() |
3000 | x 100 | ![]() |
= 5 | 5 | % |
55000 | 11 |
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let C.P. of each article be Re. 1 C.P. of x articles = Rs. x.
S.P. of x articles = Rs. 20.
Profit = Rs. (20 - x).
![]() |
![]() |
20 - x | x 100 = 25 | ![]() |
x |
2000 - 100x = 25x
125x = 2000
x = 16.
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let C.P. be Rs. x and S.P. be Rs. y.
Then, 3(y - x) = (2y - x) y = 2x.
Profit = Rs. (y - x) = Rs. (2x - x) = Rs. x.

Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let C.P.= Rs. 100. Then, Profit = Rs. 320, S.P. = Rs. 420.
New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125
New S.P. = Rs. 420.
Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295.
![]() |
![]() |
295 | x 100 | ![]() |
= | 1475 | % = 70% (approximately). |
420 | 21 |
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
C.P. of 6 toffees = Re. 1
S.P. of 6 toffees = 120% of Re. 1 = Rs. | 6 |
5 |
For Rs. | 6 | , toffees sold = 6. |
5 |
For Re. 1, toffees sold = | ![]() |
6 x | 5 | ![]() |
= 5. |
6 |
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let C.P. be Rs. x.
Then, | 1920 - x | x 100 = | x - 1280 | x 100 |
x | x |
1920 - x = x - 1280
2x = 3200
x = 1600
![]() |
![]() |
125 | x 1600 | ![]() |
= Rs 2000. |
100 |
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
C.P. = Rs. | ![]() |
100 | x 392 | ![]() |
= Rs. | ![]() |
1000 | x 392 | ![]() |
= Rs. 320 |
122.5 | 1225 |
Profit = Rs. (392 - 320) = Rs. 72.
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
S.P. = 85% of Rs. 14000 = Rs. | ![]() |
85 | x 14000 | ![]() |
= Rs. 11900 |

Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Cost Price of 1 toy = Rs. | ![]() |
375 | ![]() |
= Rs. 31.25 |
12 |
Selling Price of 1 toy = Rs. 33
So, Gain = Rs. (33 - 31.25) = Rs. 1.75
![]() |
![]() |
1.75 | x 100 | ![]() |
= | 28 | % = 5.6% |
31.25 | 5 |
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Suppose, number of articles bought = L.C.M. of 6 and 5 = 30.
C.P. of 30 articles = Rs. | ![]() |
5 | x 30 | ![]() |
= Rs. 25. |
6 |
S.P. of 30 articles = Rs. | ![]() |

Answer: Option D
Explanation:
(C.P. of 17 balls) - (S.P. of 17 balls) = (C.P. of 5 balls)
C.P. of 12 balls = S.P. of 17 balls = Rs.720.
![]() |

Answer: Option B
Explanation:
C.P. of 1st transistor = Rs. | ![]() |
100 | x 840 | ![]() |
= Rs. 700. |
120 |
C.P. of 2nd transistor = Rs. | ![]() |
100 | x 960 | ![]() |
= Rs. 1000 |
96 |
So, total C.P. = Rs. (700 + 1000) = Rs. 1700.
Total S.P. = Rs. (840 + 960) = Rs. 1800.
