Mathematical Aptitude - Profit and Loss
- Option : D
- Explanation : SP = 90% of 8000 = Rs 7200
Profit = 7200 – 5000 = Rs 2200
Profit percentage = 2200/5000 × 100 = 44%
- Option : B
- Explanation : Let CP = SP = Rs 100.
CP of 100 pencils = Rs 100
CP of 1 pencil = 100/100 = Rs 1
SP of 60 pencils = Rs 100
SP of 1 pencil = `100/60 = Rs 5/3
Profit = 5/3 – 1 = 2/3
Profit percentage = 2/3/1 × 100 = 66 2/3%
- Option : B
- Explanation : SP = 480 + 10% of 480 = Rs 528
Let Marked price = M
Now 96% of M = 528, So M = Rs 550
