Objective Type Questions
Question 1:
(a) ₹50 loss
(b) ₹50 profit
(c) ₹25 profit
(d) ₹25 loss
Answer 1:
Therefore, profit = SP − CP
= ₹250 − ₹200
= ₹50
Hence, the correct option is (b).
A vendor bought lemons at 6 for a rupee and sold them at 4 for a rupee. His gain % is
(a) 50%
(b) 40%
(c) 3313%
(d) 1623%
Let the total lemons be 12.
CP of 6 lemons = ₹1
then, CP of 12 lemons = ₹2
Also, SP of 4 lemons = ₹1
then, SP of 12 lemons = ₹3
Therefore, SP is more than CP.
So, Gain = SP − CP
= ₹3 − ₹2
= ₹1
Gain percent=GainCP×100 =12×100 =50%
Hence, the correct option is (a).
On selling a pen for ₹48, a shopkeeper loses 20%. In order to gain 20% what should be the selling price?
(a) ₹52
(b) ₹56
(c) ₹68
(d) ₹72
Let the CP of a pen be x.
SP of a pen = ₹48
Loss = 20%
Therefore, CP is more than SP.
Now, Loss = CP − SP and Loss = Loss percent × CP
Thus, CP-SP=Loss percent×CP⇒x-48=20100×x⇒100x-4800=20x⇒100x-20x=4800⇒80x=4800⇒x=480080⇒x=60
Therefore, CP of the pen = ₹60
Now, in order to gain 20%, let the new SP be y.
Gain = Gain percent × CP
= 20100×60
= ₹12
SP = CP + Gain
= ₹60 + ₹12
= ₹72
Hence, the correct option is (d).
On selling an article for ₹144 a man loses 10%. At what price should he sell it to gain 10% ?
(a) ₹158.40
(b) ₹172.80
(c) ₹176
(d) ₹192
Let the CP of an article be x.
SP of the article = ₹144
Loss = 10%
Therefore, CP is more than SP.
Now, Loss = CP − SP and Loss = Loss percent × CP
Thus, CP-SP=Loss percent×CP⇒x-144=10100×x⇒x-144=110×x⇒10x-1440=x⇒10x-x=1440⇒9x=1440⇒x=14409⇒x=160
Therefore, CP of the article = ₹160
Now, in order to gain 10%, let the new SP be y.
Gain = Gain percent × CP
= 10100×160
= ₹16
SP = CP + Gain
= ₹160 + ₹16
= ₹176
Hence, the correct option is (c).
If the cost price of 15 pens is equal to the selling price of 20 pens, then the loss percent is
(a) 25%
(b) 20%
(c) 15%
(d) 18%
Let the cost price of one pen be ₹1.
Then, CP of 20 pens = ₹20
and SP of 20 pens = ₹15 (∵ SP of 20 pens = CP of 15 pens)
Therfore, CP is more than SP.
So, Loss = CP − SP
= ₹20 − ₹15
= ₹5
Loss percent=LossCP×100 =520×100 =25%
Hence, the correct option is (a).
If the cost price of 6 pencils is equal to the selling price of 5 pencils, then the gain percent is
(a) 10%
(b) 20%
(c) 15%
(d) 25%
Let the cost price of one pencil be ₹1.
Then, CP of 5 pencils = ₹5
and SP of 5 pencils = ₹6 (∵ SP of 5 pencils = CP of 6 pencils)
Therfore, SP is more than CP.
So, Profit = SP − CP
= ₹6 − ₹5
= ₹1
Gain percent=ProfitCP×100 =15×100 =20%
Hence, the correct option is (b).
