••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Answer Key with Detailed Explanation:


1). Cost Price = 53,000
% of profit = 14%
53,000 ------------ 100%
 ?        -----------   114%
Selling price = 60,420
Profit = 60,420-53,000
=7420
Answer is: c)



2). Selling price = 32,000+4000
=36,000
% of Profit =( 4000/36000)×100
= 12.5%
Answer is: a)




3). Profit on Yamaha Bike =3,500
From that profit on TVS Bike = 3500+500=4000
Selling Price of TVS Bike = 32,000
% of profit on TVS = (4000/28,000) × 100
= 14 2/7%
Answer is: d)



4). Cost Price = 35,000
Selling Price = 35,000+3500
=38500
Ratio = 35000 : 38500
= 10:11
Answer is: e)




5). Moto Bike Selling Price = 33,000
Moto Bike % Of Profit  = 10% means      
33,000 -------  110%
      ?     -------   100% (CP)
Cost Price of Moto = 30,000
Honda cost price = 3/5 × 30,000
= 18,000
 Selling price = 22,000
Profit = 4,000
% of profit = (4000/18,000) × 100
= 22 2/9%
Answer is: b)





6). Number of employees in Accounts Department
=17 × 12600/100
= 1890
Average = (2142 + 1134 + 1890)/3
= 5166/3
= 1722
Answer is: a)



7). Number of employees in Academic affairs
= 27 × 12600/100
= 3402
Number of employees in Examination department
= 21 × 12600/100
= 2646
Required % = (3402 – 2646)/2646 × 100
= 756/2546 × 100
=28.57
= 29%
Answer is: b)



8). Difference = (38% of 12600 – 20% of 12600)
= 18% of 12600
= 18 × 12600/100
= 2268
Answer is: e)



9). Number of employees in Research department
= 15 × 12600/100
= 1890
Female employees in Research department
=1890 × 30/100
= 567
Hence number of male employees in Research department
= 1890 - 567
= 1323
Answer is: c)




10). Number of employees in examination department
= 21 × 12600/100
= 2646
Number of employees in the HR department
= 11 × 12600
= 1386
Number of employees in Academic Affairs
= 27 × 12600/100
= 3402
Total number of employees in both the departments Academic Affairs and HR together
= 3402 + 1386
= 4788
Required % = 2646/4748 × 100
= 55.26
= 55
