Directions(6-10): The line graph below shows the percentage of discount offered on the market price of five articles in discount season by Shop A and Shop B resp.


6. Toast are marked 50% above their manufacturing cost. Shop B makes 20% profit on their purchase price by selling the article. Calculate the profit percentage of the manufacturer who sells the article to the shop.
   20%
   50%
   10%
   25%
   15%
   Option E
   Let the manufacturing cost of Toast be Rs.100.
   Marked Price = 150% of 100 = Rs.150
   Now, the discount offered by Shop B = 8%
   SP of Toast = (92/100)*150 = Rs.138
   ATQ, Purchase Price = (138/120)*100 = Rs.115
   Profit = [(115-100)/100]*100 = 15%

    

7. Shop B marked the price 50% above the cost price on all the articles and if all the articles have the same cost price then on which article does he incur a loss?
   Rs.3.2
   Rs.1.2
   Rs.5
   Rs.2.5
   None of these
   Option D
   Let the CP of all the articles be Rs.100.
   MP of all the articles = 150% of Rs.100 = Rs.150
   Discount on crockery = 30%
   SP = (70/100)*150 = Rs.105
   Discount on Toast = 8%
   SP = (92/100)*150 = Rs.138
   Discount on Pickles = 12%
   SP = (88/100)*150 = Rs.132
   Discount n Baking Powder = 35%
   SP = (65/100)*150 = Rs.97.5
   Discount on Chocos = 22%
   SP = (78/100)*150 = Rs.117
   Loss incurred on Baking Powder = Rs.2.5

    

8. On pickles, Shop A marked 60% above its cost price and Shop B marked price 50% above its cost price. If the cost prices of both the shops are the same, then what will be the ratio of profit earned by shop A to that by shop B on pickles?
   5:8
   9:4
   7:5
   3:2
   1:5
   Option A
   Let the CP of Pickles be Rs.100.
   MP of Shop A = (160/100)*100 = Rs.160
   Discount offered = 25%
   SP = Rs.120
   Profit = Rs.20
   CP of Pickles = Rs.100
   MP of Shop B = Rs.150
   Discount offered = 12%
   SP = (88/100)*150 = Rs.132

   CP of crockery = Rs. 80
   Discount offered by Shop B = 30%
   SP = (70/100)*100 = Rs.70
   Loss = 80-70 = 10
   Required loss % = (10/80)*100 = 12.5%

    

10. The cost price of Baking Powder is 50% more than that of Pickles. The selling price of Baking powder is what per cent more than the selling price of Pickles of Shop A, if both the articles are marked 60% above the cost price ?
