If the selling price of $50$ articles is equal to the cost price of $40$ articles then the loss and gain percent is:
  • A
    $20\%$ gain
  • $20\%$ loss
  • C
    $25\%$ loss
  • D
    $25\%$ gain
Answer
Correct option: B.
$20\%$ loss

Let $C.P$ of one article $= 1\ Rs.$
Then $C.P$ of $40$ article $= 40\ Rs.$
According to the question
$S.P$ of $50$ article $= C.P$ of $40$ article $= 40\ Rs.$
We assume that $C.P$ of one article $= 1\ Rs.$
then $C.P$ of $50$ article $= 50\ Rs.$
Loss $= 50 - 40 = 10\ Rs.$
Loss $\%=\frac{10}{50}\times100=20\%$

  • B
    $Rs. 900$
  • C
    $Rs. 961$
  • D
    $Rs. 896$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$Rs. 916$
$(A) Rs. 916$
Principal $(P) = Rs. 4000$
Rate $(r) = 10\%$ p.a
Period $(n) = 2$ years $3$ months $=2\frac{1}{4}\text{years}$
$\therefore$ Amount (A) $=\text{P}\Big(1+\frac{\text{R}}{100}\Big)^{\text{n}}$
$=\text{Rs. }4000\Big(1+\frac{10}{100}\Big)^2\Big(1+\frac{10\times1}{100\times4}\Big)$
$=\text{Rs. }4000\times\frac{11}{10}\times\frac{11}{10}\times\frac{41}{40}$
$=\text{Rs. }4961$
$\therefore C.I = A - P = Rs. 4961 - 4000$

$CP. = Rs. 2,160$ and Rate of $VAT = 8\%$
Let $C.P$ without $VAT$ is $Rs. 100$ then price including $VAT = 100 + 8 = Rs. 108$
$\therefore$ When price including $VAT$ is $Rs. 108,$ then original price $=\frac{100}{108}$
$\therefore$ When price including $VAT$ is $Rs. 2,160$

Answer
Correct option: A.
$Rs. 50$

Let the $CP$ be $Rs .x.$
Then, we have:
$(105\%$ of $x) - (95\%$ of $x) = 5$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{105}{100}\times\text{x}\Big)-\Big(\frac{95}{100}\times\text{x}\Big)=5$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{105\times\text{x}}{100}\Big)-\Big(\frac{95\text{x}}{100}\Big)=5$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{105\text{x}}{100}-\frac{95\text{x}}{100}\Big)=5$
$\Rightarrow\frac{10\text{x}}{100}=5$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{100}=5$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=50$
