- If 7kg of tea of price Rs. 72/kg is mixed with 33 kg of tea of Rs. 87/kg and 35 kg of Rs. 85/kg and the mixture is sold at 15% profit, then what is the selling price of the mixture?
Rs 97.37Rs 93.45Rs 92.5Rs 95.3NoneOption A
Solution:
Total cost price= 72*7+87*33+85.35 = Rs.6350
Now it is sold at a profit of 15%.
6350*1.15=Rs.7302.5
Total weight of tea=7+33+35=75 Kg
Hence Selling price of Tea per Kg =7302.5/75 = Rs. 97.37.

MP…. 90……. 120
……. 100…. ?==>400/3
Now with 20% discount the profit %ge be
400/3*80/100=320/3
Profit %ge=320/3-100=20/3= 6 2/3 %.
- A retailer purchases a sewing machine at discount of 15% and sells it for Rs. 1955. In the bargain he makes a profit of 15%. How much is the discount which he got from the wholesale ?
Rs300Rs280Rs310Rs260NoneOption A
Solution:
Let the marked price be Rs. x
Discount = 15% of Rs. x
C.P. = (x – 15% of x) = Rs. 17x / 20
then 15% of 17x / 20 = 1955 – 17x / 20
51x/400 + 17x/20 = 1955
x = 2000
Discount received by retailer = (15% of 2000) = Rs. 300.
- A merchant purchases a bracelet for Rs. 690/- and fix that bracelet’s price in such a way that after allowing a discount of 10%, he earns a profit of 20%. Then the list price (in rupees) of the bracelet is ?

- A man sold an article for Rs.85 and lost something. Had he sold it for Rs. 97, his gain would have been double the former loss. The C.P. of the article is ?
Rs87Rs90Rs89Rs92NoneOption C
Solution:
Let the loss be Rs. x
Then 85 = C.P. – x
and 97 = C.P. + 2x
On subtracting we get,
3x = 12
x = 4
C.P. = 85 + 4 = Rs. 89.
- If books bought at price ranging from Rs. 300 to Rs. 450 are sold at prices ranging from Rs. 400 to Rs. 550, what is the greatest possible profit that might be made in selling 10 books ?
Rs1950Rs2100Rs1800Rs2500NoneOption D
Solution:
Profit is maximum when C.P. is minimum and S.P. is maximum
Thus, C.P= 300 x 10 = Rs3000
S.P = 550 x 10 = Rs5500
Gain = 5500-3000=Rs2500.
- What is the maximum percentage discount that a merchant can offer on her marked price so that she ends up selling at no profit or loss, if she had initially marked her goods up by 60% .

- In an office the number of employees reduces in the ratio of 3 : 2 and the wages increases in the ratio of 20 : 27, What is the profit percentage of employees over the previous wages?
12%15%10%9%NoneOption C
Solution:
Let the number of employees in beginning is 3a and now is 2a
Let the wage per employee initially be 20b and now 27b
Total wages = no. of employees x wage per employee.
= 3a x 20b
= 60ab
Now,
= 2a x 27b
= 54ab
Profit %ge = ( 60 – 54 ) / 60 x 100 = 10%.
Q1 me ye to likha nahi hai ki 20% profit 2000 Rs par hi lagna hai agar 20% profit ko 3000 par lagate hai to answer 87.5 % a raha hai .Ye kuch samajh nahi aaya.
20%gain is for Rs 2000 only. We will change the question.
