Answers :

1) Answer: B

CP = 10 * 120 = Rs.1200

25% of the apple = 25/100 * 120 * 8 = Rs.240

Remaining apple = 120 – 30 = 90

50% of the remaining = 90 * 50/100 * 12 = Rs.540

Remaining apple = 45 * 10 = Rs.450

Total selling price = 450 + 240 + 540 = 1230

Profit = 1230 – 1200 = 30

2) Answer: B

x * 120/100 * 125/100 * 115/100 = 1725000

x = 1000000

3) Answer: C

Let the cost price be Rs. 100,

CP1 = 100, CP2 = 100, Total cost price = 200

Total selling price = 100 * (140/100) + [100 – 40 * (1/4)] = 230

Profit % = (30/200) * 100 = 15 %

4) Answer: E

Let the cost price of the article be Rs. x.

3378 - x = x - 2922

x = C.P. = (3378 + 2922)/2 = Rs. 3,150

S.P = 1.3 * 3150 = Rs. 4,095

5) Answer: B

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%
