No profit and no loss means, cost price must be
equal toselling price 6. Answer: C
[100x × (122/100)] + [(1500 – 100x) x (92/100)] = According to the question,
1500 2400 – x = 1750 + (x – 150)
122x + 1380 - 92x = 1500 2400 – 1750 = 2x – 150
30x = 120 =》x = 4 2x = 650 + 150
Cost price of second watch = 1500 – (4×100) = x = 800/2
Rs.1100 x = 400
The cost price of the book = 2400 – 400 =
3. Answer: B Rs.2000
Selling price of article B = 1.75 × 1020 =
Rs.1785 7. Answer: C
Marked price of article A = 1785/0.85 = Rs.2100 The selling price of article B = 360 * 5/6 =
Cost price of article A = 2100/1.40 = Rs.1500 Rs.300
Hence, the answer is option b). The marked price of article A = 9x
The marked price of article B = 10x
4. Answer: C 9x – 360 + 110 = 10x – 300
1000 * (100 + x)/100 * (130 – x)/100 = 1200 x = 50
(100 + x)(130 – x)/10 = 1200 Required answer = 10 * 50 = Rs.500
13000 – 100x + 130x – x2 = 12000
x2 – 30x – 1000 = 0 8. Answer: B
x2 – 50x + 20x – 1000 = 0 (x + x * 20/100 + x/20) * 140/100 = x + 1500
x(x – 50) + 20(x – 50) = 0 (x + x/5 + x/20) * 7/5 = x + 1500
x = 50, -20 (20x + 4x + x)/20 * 7/5 = x + 1500
x = 50 25x/20 * 7/5 = x + 1500
5. Answer: C 35x/20 = x + 1500
Let the cost price of the book = a 35x = 20x + 30000
And the cost price of the steel bottle = 980 – a 15x = 30000
(980 – a) * 20/100 + a * 25/100 = 220 x = Rs.2000
980/5 – a/5 + a/4 = 220
(5a – 4a)/20 = 220 – 196 9. Answer: C
a = 24 * 20 x * 110/100 * 90/100 * 120/100 = x + 470
a = 480 x * 11/10 * 9/10 * 6/5 = x + 470
The cost price of the book = Rs.480 594x/500 = x + 470

12. Answer: B x = 1500
Cost price of book A = 1440 *(100/96) = Rs.1500 MP of mobile = 1500 * 8 = Rs.12000
Cost price of book B = 1440 *(100/120) =
Rs.1200 17. Answer: B
Required difference = 1500 – 1200 = Rs.300 SP of t-shirt= 675

13. Answer: A Profit = a – 150
Let the total toys be 9x. MP = 3x
C.P. of 9x toy = (50 × 2x + 20 × 4x + 30 × 3x) = CP = 2x
Rs.270x 675 = 3x – a
S.P. of 9 toy = 33 × 9x = 297x 675 = 2x + a – 150
Profit % = 100 × 27x/270x = 10% 675 = 2x + (3x – 675) – 150
5x = 1500

20 * 200/x * 140/100 + (x – 20) * 200/x * 80/100 37.5% of the total quantity of rice = 40 * 37.5/100
= 200 + 20 = 15 kg
5600/x + (160x – 3200)/x = 220 The remaining quantity of rice = 40 – 15 = 25 kg
160x + 2400 = 220x 15 * 60 + 25 * y = 40 * 50 * 140/100

The cost price of the table = x 23. Answer: B
The selling price of the table by the shopkeeper Let the cost price of the flask = 3a
= 3080 * 100/110 = Rs.2800 And the cost price of the bottle = 2a
x * 140/100 * 80/100 = 2800 2a*25/100+3a*15/100 = 380
x = Rs.2500 50a + 45a = 380*100
a = 380*100/95
20. Answer: C a = 400
Let the cost price of the chair = x The cost price of the bottle = 2*400 = Rs.800
And the cost price of the sofa = 2000-x
x * 140/100 + (2000 – x) * 120/100 – 2000 = 550 24. Answer: B
7x/5 + 2400 – 6x/5 – 2000 = 550 Let the cost price of the table = x
7x/5 – 6x/5 = 550 – 400 x * 90/100 = (x – 100) * 125/100 – 50
x = 150 * 5 9x/10 = 5x/4 – 125 – 50
x = 750 5x/4 - 9x/10 = 175
25x – 18x = 175 * 20
21. Answer: B x = 175 * 20/7 = 500
3x/2 * (100 + y)/100 = 9x/5 The actual cost price of the table = Rs.500
5 * (100 + y) = 600

Amount invested by M: amount invested by N = Let the original cost price of the article be Rs.x
5y: 8y (x + 700) * 120/100 – x * (1 + 15 (5/7) * 1/100) =
Profit received by M: the profit received by N 1020
=3x: 4x (x + 700) * 6/5 – x * (1 + 110/7 * 1/100) = 1020
N invested for 15 months (x + 700) * 6/5 – x * (1 + 11/70) = 1020
According to the question, (x + 700) * 6/5 – x * (70 + 11)/70 = 1020
For N, (x + 700) * 6/5 – x * 81/70 = 1020
4x = 8y x 15 (6x + 4200)/5 – 81x/70 = 1020
x = 30y (84x + 58800 – 81x)/70 = 1020
For M, 3x + 58800 = 71400
3x = 5y x T 3x = 12600
Thus, T = 18 months x = Rs.4200
Investment time period for M = 18 months
Hence, the answer is option E 29. Answer: B
Let the cost price of the refrigerator = 10x
26. Answer: D And the selling price of the refrigerator = 11x
The cost price of each apple = 1250/50 = Rs.25 The profit earned by the shopkeeper = 11x – 10x
The selling price of each apple = a = 1x
a * 5 = 8 * 25 The discount amount offered by the shopkeeper
a = 40 = 1x * 100/66.66 = 3x/2
The sum of the selling price of 50 apples = 50 * The marked price of the refrigerator = 11x + 3x/2
40 = Rs.2000 = 25x/2
Overall profit % = (2000 – 1250)/1250 * 100 = 25x/2 = 4500
750/1250 * 100 = 60% x = 360
The cost price of the refrigerator = 10 * 360 =
27. Answer: C Rs.3600
Number of books = Number of calculators = n
(n * x * 120/100)/(n * (x + 250) * 85/100) = 16/17 30. Answer: A
(x * 120)/((x + 250) * 85) = 16/17 Let the cost price of each bottle = x
3x/(x + 250) = 2/1 And the selling price of each bottle = x * 110/100
3x = 2x + 500 = 11x/10
x = Rs.500 The new selling price of each bottle = x *

Let the number of undamaged jeans be n. SP of Radio = 3x * 115/100 = 3.45x
Total number of jeans = Number of damaged SP of Cooker = 2x * 112/100 = 2.24x
jeans + number of undamaged jeans = 6 + n 3.45x – 2.24x = 2178
6 * 500 * 80/100 + n * 500 * 140/100 = (6 + n) * x = 1800
500 + 200 CP of Cooker = 1800 * 2 = Rs.3600
2400 + 700n = 3000 + 500n + 200
700n – 500n = 800 35. Answer: C
200n = 800 Let the cost price of the Scooty = 5x
n=4 And the marked price of the Scooty = 5x *
Total number of jeans = 6 + 4 = 10 140/100 = 7x
(7x * 90/100 –5x) – (7x * 80/100 – 5x) = 1050
32. Answer: A 63x/10 – 5x – (56x/10 – 5x) = 1050
SP of a water heater, when sold it at 63x – 50x – 56x + 50x = 1050 * 10
profit=Rs.4250 7x = 1050 * 10
SP of a water heater, when sold it at x = 1500
loss=Rs.2550 The cost price of the Scooty = 5 * 1500 =
Profit=Loss Rs.7500
4250-CP=CP-2550
2CP=6800 36. Answer: A
CP=3400 The selling price of the book = 7x * (100 –
CP of a refrigerator=7240-3400=Rs.3840 25)/100 + 7x * 25/100 * 1/7
SP of a refrigerator=3840+768=Rs.4608 = 7x * 75/100 + 7x * 1/28
MP of a refrigerator=4608*100/80=Rs.5760 = 21x/4 + x/4
= 22x/4
33. Answer: B = 11x/2

37. Answer: D 40. Answer: B

Let the cost price of the mobile = x Let the cost price of the article = 100x
And the cost price of the laptop = 12000 – x Marked price of the article = 140x
x * 20/100 - (12000 – x) * 10/100 = 300 Selling price = 140x * (90/100) * (85/100) =
x/5 – (12000 – x) * 1/10 = 300 107.10x
x/5 – 1200 + x/10 = 300 Assuming marked price = 100x + 800
2x/10 + x/10 = 300 + 1200 Selling price = (100x + 800) * (100-12) ℅ = 88x
3x = 1500 * 10 + 704
x = 1500 * 10/3 88x + 704 – 107.10x = 169.20
x = 5000 19.10x = 534.80
The cost price of the mobile = Rs.5000 x = 28
Cost price of the article = Rs. 2800
38. Answer: A
Let the cost price of the shoe = 10x 41. Answer: B
And the marked price of the shoe = 13x So, 5%=10, 100%=200
The discount given on the marked price = 13x – So, the cost price of the item is 200.
10x * 120/100 = 13x – 12x = 1x Selling price of item when 20% profit is
The profit earned on selling the shoe = 10x * 200*120/100=240
20/100 = 2x So, value of x=240-40=200
2x – 1x = 150 Profit percentage when item sold at (x+80) or
x = 150 Rs.280 is =[80/200]*100=40%
The cost price of the shoe = 10 * 150 = Rs.1500
The selling price of the shoe = 1500 * 120/100 = 42. Answer: E
Rs.1800 MP of cycle = Rs.2800
MP of Watch = Rs.3000
39. Answer: C SP of Cycle = 2800 – 800 = Rs.2000
The new selling price of each chair = 1760/8 = Discount of watch = 800 * 100/80 = Rs.1000
Rs.220 SP of watch = 3000 – 1000 = Rs.2000
The cost price of each chair = 220 * 100/110 = Difference = 2000 – 2000 = 0
Rs.200
The cost price of 10 chairs = 10 * 200 = Rs.2000 43. Answer: B
The actual selling price of each chair = 2000/8 = (10x/10) * 125/100 + 15/15(x – 50) * 120/100 =

Cost price of each pen = 200/10 = Rs.20 Let the CP=x
44. Answer: C And the MP=x+9600
So, the cost price of the item= 864*20/27= Rs. (x+9600)*75/100-x=x*5/100
640 3x/4+7200-x=x/20
So, the marked price of the item =640*150/100= x/20+x/4=7200

MP of article A = 5x
45. Answer: C SP of article B = 3x
1200 * (100 + x)/100 * 80/100 = 1200 * (100 + x Discounts of B = 3x + 4800

(100 + x) * 4/5 = 70 + x 5x – (7x/3 + 11200/3) = 4800
400 + 4x = 350 + 5x 5x – 7x/3 = 4800 + 11200/3
x = 50 x = 3200
Selling price of the table = 1200 * (100 + 50 – MP of A = 3200 * 5 = Rs.16000

49. Answer: A
46. Answer: B SP of laptop at 10% discounts = 18000 * 90/100
Let the MP=5x = Rs.16200
SP=5x*80/100=4x SP of laptop at 16% discounts = 18000 * 84/100
4x-CP=3000 = Rs.15120
CP=4x-3000 16200 = CP + x
