A. 1%
B. 2%
C. 4%
D. 3%
E. None of these

Option “B” is correct.

CP = x

MP = x * 150/100 = 3x/2

SP = 3x/2 * 80/100 * 85/100

= 51x/50

Required percentage = ([51x/50] – x)/x * 100

= 1/50 * 100 = 2%
92. The marked price of the article is Rs.1800. If the shopkeeper allows 20% discount on the marked price and then it is sold for Rs.340 profit. What is the cost price of the article?

A. Rs.1000
B. Rs.1100
C. Rs.1200
D. Rs.1400
E. None of these

Option “B” is correct.

Given that, MP of the article =1800

Then SP=1800 * 80/100=Rs. 1440

Thus, CP=1440 – 340=Rs. 1100
93. The cost price of the mobile is Rs.2000. If the shopkeeper marked up the price by 30% and allowed the discount of 10%, then what is the profit percentage of the mobile?

A. 13%
B. 15%
C. 12%
D. 17%
E. None of these

Option “D” is correct.

Given that, CP=Rs. 2000

Then, MP=2000 * 130/100=Rs. 2600

Thus, SP=2600 * 90/100=Rs. 2340

Profit percentage=[(2340 – 2000)/2000] * 100=17%
94. The shopkeeper sold two mobiles for Rs.6000 each. If one of the mobile sold at 20% profit and another one is 20% loss, then what is the profit or loss for whole transaction?

A. No loss no profit
B. Rs.400 profit
C. Rs.600 loss
D. Rs.500 loss
E. Rs.600 profit

Option “D” is correct.

Total SP=6000 + 6000 =Rs. 12000

CP of the first mobile=100/120 * 6000=Rs. 5000

CP of second mobile=100/80 * 6000=Rs. 7500

Total CP=5000 + 7500=Rs. 12500

Loss=12500 – 12000=Rs.500
95. Rahul bought 15 laptops for Rs.75000 and then he also spends Rs.3000 for transport charge. If he sells 13 laptops for Rs.83200, then what is the approximate profit percentage?

B. 23%
C. 27%
D. 29%
E. 31%

Option “B” is correct.

15 laptops=Rs.75000

Transport charge=Rs.3000

Total spending amount=75000 + 3000=78000

CP of one laptop=78000/15=5200

SP of one laptop=83200/13=6400

Profit-6400 – 5200=1200

Required percentage=1200/5200 * 100=23%
96. The profit earned by selling a table for Rs. 3600 is equal to the loss incurred by selling the same table for Rs. 1200. At what price should the table be sold to make 40 % profit?

एक टेबल को 3600 रुपये में बेचकर कमाया गया लाभ, 1200 रुपये में उसी टेबल को बेचकर हुए हानि के बराबर है। 40% लाभ कमाने के लिए टेबल को किस कीमत पर बेचा जाना चाहिए?

A. Rs. 3540
B. Rs. 3280
C. Rs. 3360
D. Rs. 3420
E. None of these

Option “C” is correct.

According to the question,

Profit = Loss

SP1 – CP = CP – SP2

3600 – CP = CP – 1200

3600 + 1200 = 2CP

4800 = 2CP

CP = 4800/2 = Rs. 2400

To make 40 % profit,

SP = 2400 * (140/100) = Rs. 3360
97. Mona bought a printer and sold it to Sona for Rs.2400 thereby making a profit of 20%. At what price Mona must sell the printer to earn a profit of 60%?

मोना ने एक प्रिंटर खरीदा और उसे सोना को 2400 रुपये में बेच दिया, जिससे 20% का लाभ हुआ। मोना को 60% का लाभ अर्जित करने के लिए प्रिंटर को किस कीमत पर बेचना चाहिए?

A. Rs. 2400
B. Rs. 2800
C. Rs. 3000
D. Rs. 3200
E. Rs. 3600

Option “D” is correct.

CP of printer for Mona = x

ATQ,

X* (100+20)/100 = 2400

X = 5/6 * 2400

X = 2000

So, CP of printer for Mona = 2000

To make a profit of 60%,

SP = [(100+60)/100] * 2000= Rs. 3200
98. If the marked price of a headset is 120% of its cost price and the shopkeeper allows the discount of 15%, So the shopkeeper gets the profit of Rs.800. what is the cost price of the headset?

B. Rs.20000
C. Rs.40000
D. Rs.50000

CP=100x

MP=100x * 120/100=120x

SP=120x * 85/100=102x

Profit=SP – CP

2x=800

x =400

CP=400 * 100=40000
99. Arun earned a profit of 20% after allowing a discount of 10%. Marked price is what percentage more than cost price?

Let the labeled price be Rs.100.

SP = 100 * 90/100 = 90

CP = 90 * 100/120 = 75

Required percentage = (100 – 75)/75 * 100 = 25/75 * 100 = 33.33%
