Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Let the labelled price be $x$ Rs
$\therefore $ Price at which $=x-\dfrac{30}{10}\times x$
he bought $=\left(\dfrac{7x}{10}\right)$ Rs
Also profit is $25\%$
$\therefore  125\% $ of $\dfrac{7x}{10}=8750$ Rs
$\therefore \dfrac{5}{4}\times \dfrac{7x}{10}=8750$ Rs
$\therefore x=\dfrac{8750\times 4\times 10}{5\times 7}$
$\therefore x=10000$ Rs
$\therefore $ Labelled price is $10000$ Rs

A businessman marks his goods in such a way that even after allowing $12.5 \%$ discount on a cash purchase he gains $20 \%$. If the cost price is Rs. $140$, the marked price is

  1. Rs. $162$
  2. Rs. $172$
  3. Rs. $193$
  4. Rs. $192$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Business man gains $20\%$ on his cost price, that means, he has sold his goods,
$140 + \dfrac{140\times20}{100} =$ Rs. $168$
Selling price $= 168$

Now, let marked price was Rs. $x$
According to question,
$x - \dfrac{12.5 x}{100} = 168$
$\Rightarrow\dfrac{100x - 12.5 x}{100} = 168$
$\Rightarrow 100x - 12.5 x = 16800$
$\Rightarrow 87.5 x = 16800$
$\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{16800}{87.5}$
$\Rightarrow x = 192$
So, marked price was Rs. $192$

  4. Rs. 15,000
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Let his sales were worth Rs. "x"
So $[1000\, +\, 2.5 \%\, \times\, (x\, -\, 4000) ]\, -\, 5\, \% \times\, x\, =\, 600$


$1000\, +\, \displaystyle \frac{1}{40}\, (x\, -\, 4000)\, -\, \displaystyle \frac{5}{100}\, \times\, x\, =\, 600$

$1000\, +\, \displaystyle \frac{x}{40}\, -\, 100\, -\, \displaystyle \frac{5x}{100}\, =\, 600\times x$


$x = Rs. 12,000$
