Question : A tradesman marks his goods at 25% above the cost price. If he reduces the marked price by $12\frac{1}{2}\%$, then his profit will be:

Option 1:

$9\frac{3}{8}\%$

Option 2: $7\frac{3}{5}\%$

Option 3: $6\frac{3}{8}\%$

Option 4: $5\frac{1}{3}\%$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer:

$9\frac{3}{8}\%$


Solution : Use the successive percentage change formula, where $x$ and $y$ are percentage increases or decreases, if increases take positive and if decreases take negative.
$=(x+y+\frac{xy}{100})\%$
We have, $x = 25\%$ and $y=-12\frac{1}{2}\%=-\frac{25}{2}\%$
The required profit percentage,
$=(25-\frac{25}{2}-\frac{25×25}{200})\%$
$=(25-\frac{25}{2}-\frac{25}{8})\%$
$=\frac{75}{8}\%$
$=9\frac{3}{8}\%$

Question : Rajinder drives his car at an average speed of 40 km/hr to cover half of his total distance and thereafter he increases his speed to 60 km/hr. He covers his journey in 7 hours. What is the average speed of Rajinder on this journey?

Option 1: 52 km/hr

Option 2: 48 km/hr

Option 3: 50 km/hr

Option 4: 54 km/hr

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 48 km/hr


Solution : Let the total distance covered by Rajinder = $2x$ km
Time taken to travel half distance = $\frac{x}{40}$
Time taken to travel other half distance = $\frac{x}{60}$
Average speed = $\frac{\text{Total distance travelled}}{\text{Total time taken}}$
= $\frac{2x}{\frac{x}{40}+\frac{x}{60}}$
= $\frac{2×40×60}{40+60}$
= 48 km/hr
Hence, the
