Solutions
------------------

1). Answer: C
20% loss = 80% of cost price
If, 80% of cost price = 6800
Then, X% of cost price = 8160
∴ X% = 80 × 8160 / 6800 = 96%
Hence, the loss = 100 – 96 = 4%


2). Answer: B
Let the selling price of the product be x, 
115% of cost price = x
120% of cost price = x+25
∴ (x+25) × 115 = x × 120
5x = 115 × 25
∴ x = 575
Hence, the cost price of the product (C.P) = 100%
115% of cost price = 575
∴ C.P = 100 × 575/ 115 = 500


3). Answer: D
The 20% profit of cost price = 120 
∴ the selling price of goods = 120
Cost price (900 gram) = 900 /1000 × 100 = 90
Hence, the overall profit = (120 – 90)/90 × 100 = 30 /90 × 100 = 33 1/3%


4). Answer: B
The cost price = (2160 + 1440) / 2 = 3600/2 = 1800
40% profit of cost price = 140 × 1800 /100 = 2520


5). Answer: A
Selling price (S.P1) = 90% of cost price
Selling price (S.P2) = 115% of cost price
Let the selling price of the product be x, 
90% of cost price = x
115% of cost price = x+1250
90 × (x+1250) = x × 115
1250 × 90 = 115x – 90x
25x =1250 × 90
∴ x = 4500
Hence, the cost price = 4500 × 100 /90 = 5000

6). Answer: D
12 oranges bought for Rs. 51
∴ cost price of 1 orange = 51/12 = 4.25
8 oranges sold for Rs. 38
∴ selling price of 1 orange = 38/8 = 4.75
Hence, the profit = 4.75 – 4.25 = 0.5
Profit of 1 orange = 0.5
Profit of x oranges = 50
∴ x = 50 /0.5 = 100
Hence, 100 oranges are sold to get a profit of Rs.50

7). Answer: C
The profit% = (20-15)/15 × 100
= 5/15 × 100 = 33 1/3%

8). Answer: A
20% discount = 80% of marked price = 1200
25% profit on marked price, 125%= x
∴ x = 1200 × 125 / 80 = 1875

9). Answer: B
Rs.12180 = 140% profit of B
∴ cost price of B = 12180 × 100 / 140 = 8700
Rs.8700 = 120% of A
∴ cost price of A = 8700 × 100 / 120 = 7250
Hence, A paid for a wardrobe is Rs.7250

 10). Answer: B

The selling price of article1 = 120% of cost price = 1500
∴ cost price of article1 = 1500 × 100 / 120 = 1250
The selling price of article2 = 80% of cost price = 1500
∴ cost price of article2 = 1500 × 100 / 80 = 1875
The overall cost price = 1250 + 1875 = 3125
The overall selling price = 1500 + 1500 = 3000
∴ the overall loss = (Cost price – Selling price)/Cost price × 100
= (3125 – 3000)/3125 × 100 = 125/3125 × 100 = 4%
Hence, overall loss = 4%
