Question : By selling an article for INR 600, a person made a profit of 50%. What was the cost price of this article?
Option 1: INR 300
Option 2: INR 450
Option 3: INR 400
Option 4: INR 350
Correct Answer: INR 400
Solution : Given: By selling an article for INR 600, a person made a profit of 50%. We know, Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Selling Price - Cost Price}}{\text{Cost Price}}\times 100$ Let the cost price of the article be $x$. ⇒ $\frac{600−x}{x}×100=50$ ⇒ $60000−100x=50x$ ⇒ $x=\frac{60000}{150}$ ⇒ $x=400$
Question : The time taken by boat to cover a distance of x km in upstream is 3 hours more than the time taken by the boat to cover the same distance in downstream. The speed of the boat in upstream is 8 km/hr. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct? I. If the value of x is 48 km, then the speed of the boat in downstream is 16 km/hr. II. If the speed of the boat in downstream is 12 km/hr, then the value of x is 48 km.
Option 1: Neither I nor II
Option 2: Only II
Option 3: Only I
Option 4: Both I and II
Correct Answer: Only I
Solution : Let the speed of the boat downstream as $d$ km/hr. The time taken by the boat to cover $x$ km in downstream = $\frac{x}{d}$ hours Upstream = $\frac{x}{8}$ hours According to the question, $\frac{x}{8} = \frac{x}{d} + 3$ Now check the statements: I. If
Question : $\frac{2}{5}$ of the marked price of an item is equal to $\frac{4}{7}$ of its cost price. If a discount of 15% is given on its sale, then what is the approximate profit percentage earned?
Option 1: 19.84%
Option 2: 23.63%
Option 3: 21.43%
Option 4: 14.28%
Correct Answer: 21.43%
Solution : $\frac{2}{5}$ × marked price = $\frac{4}{7}$ × cost price Marked price = $\frac{10}{7}$ × cost price Discount = 15% of marked price = $\frac{15}{100}×\frac{10}{7}$ × cost price Selling price = marked price – discount = $(1-\frac{15}{100})×\frac{10}{7}$ × cost price = $\frac{85}{100}×\frac{10}{7}$ × cost price =
Question : What is the value of $x$ in the following equation? $12.50\ ÷ \ 0.005 + 25\ ÷\ 0.5 + 5 = x$
Option 1: 2555
Option 2: 2005
Option 3: 2000
Option 4: 2050
Correct Answer: 2555
Solution : $12.50\ ÷ \ 0.005 + 25\ ÷\ 0.5 + 5 = x$ $⇒x=\frac{12.50}{0.005}+\frac{25}{0.5}+ 5$ $⇒x=\frac{1250×1000}{5×100}+\frac{250}{5}+ 5$ $⇒x=2500+50+5$ $\therefore x=2555$ Hence, the correct answer is 2555.
