1. Answer-d
Let us assume he has 100 l juice.
After adding 10 % extra water new amount of juice= 110l
Again adding 10% water, new juice= 121 l
Profit=21/100*100=21%
2. Answer-a
Its obvious the answer is 25 % . no need of any calculation but during exams, we feel like it must not be that simple and sometimes start calculating and waste time.
3. Answer-c
Let cp of one article be rs 1
Sp = rs 1.25
Again new sp = (1.25*1.2)=1.5
If he initially sells 100 articles, cp = 100*1=rs 100
Sp = 100*1.25= rs 125
New sp = 75*1.5=112.5 ( as 25% articles were lost)
New gain %= 12.5 %
4. Answer-c
Only 90% of the manufactured pens are delivered for sale.
Let M be the manufacturing cost of each pen.
Total income including profit=(8000*M)*1.25
This income is obtained by selling 90% manufactured pens at rs10 i.e. 7200*10.
Hence (8000*M)*1.25=7200*10
M=7.2
5. Answer-b
Chandans profit=10%
Anils profit=20 %
Bipins profit=25%
6. Answer-c
Let total profit = Rs 100
Amount left after donation= 80
After reinvestment=20
Now 5x/8 - 3x/8=1200
Where x is the amount left after reinvestment
2x/8=1200
X=4800
Total profit=4800x5=24000
7. Answer- b
total cost= Rs 120,000
total sale or revenue= 2000*9+6000*10=78000
loss%=78000/120000*100=35%
8. Answer-c
Maximum possible profit=max possible difference between sp and cp.
Means max sp and min cp
Cp min= Rs 399
19m=399, m is an integer
Sp max= 699..let us take it as 697 ( approx for easier calculation)
697 =17k, k is an integer
So max profit= 697-399= Rs 298
9. Answer-a
Let actual price of 1 g goods= Rs 1
He sells goods equal to 90 Rs only ( 10 g less)
Again marked price = Rs 1.8 and sp= 1.35 for 1 g
Thus he gives goods worth Rs 90 and takes Rs 135 after 25 % discount
Thus profit= 135-90/90 × 100= 50%
10. Answer- b
Let number of sweets = 100
Cp of each sweet= Rs 1
Total cp = Rs 100
Total sp = 40*1.4+30*1.2+30*1.05=123.5
Profit% = 23.5%
