  1. Simran has written the selling price of a saree on its tag 50% higher than its cost price. After bargaining with a customer she sells it at a discount of 20% and makes a profit of Rs. 480 on it. Find its cost price.

(2) 3200/-

(3) 2000/-

(4) 1600/-

(5) 2500/-

Show Answer
Option: 4

Show Solution

Solution:

Suppose C.P. of the saree is 100x.

So, the M.P. is 150x.

After discount the S.P. is 150x * 80/100 = 120x.

ATQ;

150x – 120x = 480/-

So, x = 16/-

100x = 1600/-

 

  1. Rina started a business by investing some money and Bina invested Rs. 3000 more than that of Rina. Rina remained in business for 7 months and Bina remained in business for 2 month more than Rina. Out of the total profit of Rs. 24,000, Bina got Rs. 4000 more than Rina.

(5) None of these

Show Answer
Option: 2

Show Solution

Solution: Ratio of shared profit of Rina & Bina :

ATQ ;

X + (X + 4000) = 24,000

X = 10,000

Rina : Bina= 10,000/- : 14,000/- = 5:7

Suppose the investment of Rina is x & (Bina x+3000)

Rina : Bina =  7*x : 9(x+3000)

So, 7x : 9(x+3000) = 5 : 7

x = 33,750/-

 

  1. The ratio of a man’s age and his son’s age is 5 : 3 and the product of their ages is 960. The ratio of their ages after 9 years will be:

(1) 7:3

C.P. of one cucumber = 8/5 * 20/12 = 8/3

So, the required answer : 600 * ⅜ = 225
