1.

The Cost Price Of A College Bag Is 240% More Than The Profit Obtained On It Selling At Rs. 1540. What Is The Cost Price Of That College Bag?

Answer»

<P>Let the profit be Rs. p

Then Cost price of the bag = 340p/100 = 3.4p

According to question,

3.4p + p = 1540

4.4p = 1540

p = 1540/4.4

p = 350

The profit p = Rs, 350

HENCE, The cost price of the bag = 3.4p = 3.4 X 350 = Rs. 1190.

Let the profit be Rs. p

Then Cost price of the bag = 340p/100 = 3.4p

According to question,

3.4p + p = 1540

4.4p = 1540

p = 1540/4.4

p = 350

The profit p = Rs, 350

Hence, The cost price of the bag = 3.4p = 3.4 x 350 = Rs. 1190.

Buy At 30 Cell At 50. What Is The Profit Percentage?

Answer»

Cost PRICE = RS. 30

Selling price = Rs. 50

Gain = Rs. 20

Profit % = Gain/cost price x 100 = 20/50 x 100 = 40%

Cost price = Rs. 30

Selling price = Rs. 50

Gain = Rs. 20

Profit % = Gain/cost price x 100 = 20/50 x 100 = 40%

3.

A Bottle Is Sold At A Loss Of 9%. Had It Sold For Rs. 15 More, A Profit Of 25/2% Would Have Gained. What Is The Cost Price Of The Bottle (approx)?

Answer»

Let the COST price of the bottle = Rs. 100 

Selling price of the bottle = Rs. 100 - Rs. 9 = Rs. 91 

Then, from the given DATA

=> 112 (1/2) - 91 = 15 

=> 21 (1/2) = 15 

=> 43 = 15 

Then 100 = ? 

1500/43 = 34.885 =~ 35 

HENCE, the cost price of the bottle = Rs. 35

Let the cost price of the bottle = Rs. 100 

Selling price of the bottle = Rs. 100 - Rs. 9 = Rs. 91 

Then, from the given data, 

=> 112 (1/2) - 91 = 15 

=> 21 (1/2) = 15 

=> 43 = 15 

Then 100 = ? 

1500/43 = 34.885 =~ 35 

Hence, the cost price of the bottle = Rs. 35

On A Particular Morning The Temperature Went Up 1 ° Every Two Hours. If The Temperature Was 53° At 5 A.m., At What Time Was It 57°?

Answer»

Difference in temperature= {57-53}= 4 DEGREES.

1 degrees RISE happens in 2 hours ,

so 4 degrees rise WOULD happen in 4 X 2 = 8 hrs,

so it will be 8 hrs after 5 A.M. i.e. 1 P.M.

Difference in temperature= {57-53}= 4 degrees.

1 degrees rise happens in 2 hours ,

so 4 degrees rise would happen in 4 x 2 = 8 hrs,

A Person Bought An Article And Sold It At A Loss Of 10%. If He Had Bought It For 20% Less And Sold It For Rs. 55 More. He Would Have Had A Profit Of 40%. The C.p. Of The Article Is ?

Answer»

<P>LET C.P. = Rs. P

Then S.P. = Rs. (90/100) X P = Rs. (9 x P)/10

NEW C.P. = Rs. (80/100) x P = Rs. (4 x P)/5

Now, Gain = 40%

∴ New S.P. Rs. (140/100 x 4P/5) = Rs. 28P/25

∵ 28P/25 - 9P/10 = Rs. 250

Let C.P. = Rs. P

Then S.P. = Rs. (90/100) x P = Rs. (9 x P)/10

New C.P. = Rs. (80/100) x P = Rs. (4 x P)/5

Now, Gain = 40%

∴ New S.P. Rs. (140/100 x 4P/5) = Rs. 28P/25

∵ 28P/25 - 9P/10 = Rs. 250

105.126 * 35.201 – 90.23 * 3 + 55.11 * 27.01 = ?

Answer»

105.126 * 35.201 – 90.23 * 3 + 55.11 * 27.01

= 105 * 35 – 90 * 3 +55 * 27 = 3675 – 270 + 1485

= 5160 – 270 = 4890

105.126 * 35.201 – 90.23 * 3 + 55.11 * 27.01

= 105 * 35 – 90 * 3 +55 * 27 = 3675 – 270 + 1485

= 5160 – 270 = 4890

7.

In A Race Of 200 M, A Can Beat B By 31 M And C By 18 M. In A Race Of 350 M, C Will Beat B By?

Answer»

It means, when A convers 200 m, B covers only (200-31)=169 m

and C covers only (200-18)=182 m

=> When C covers 182 m, B covers 169 m

=> When C covers 350 m, B covers 169182×350 = 325 m

HENCE, C beats B by 350-325 = 25 metre

It means, when A convers 200 m, B covers only (200-31)=169 m

and C covers only (200-18)=182 m

=> When C covers 182 m, B covers 169 m

=> When C covers 350 m, B covers 169182×350 = 325 m

Hence, C beats B by 350-325 = 25 metre

Bhajan Singh Purchased 120 Reams Of Paper At Rs. 80 Per Ream. He Spent Rs. 280 On Transportation. Paid Octrai At The Rate Of 40 Paise Per Ream And Paid Rs. 72 To The Coolie. If He Wants To Have A Gain Of 8 %. What Must Be The Selling Price Per Ream?

Answer»

C.P of 120 reams = Rs. (120 × 80 + 280 + 72 + 120 × 40) = Rs. 10000

C.P of 1 REAM = (10000/120) = Rs. (250/3)

S.P of 1 ream = Rs. (108/100 × 250/3) = Rs. 90

C.P of 120 reams = Rs. (120 × 80 + 280 + 72 + 120 × 40) = Rs. 10000

C.P of 1 ream = (10000/120) = Rs. (250/3)

S.P of 1 ream = Rs. (108/100 × 250/3) = Rs. 90
