Solution
S1. Ans.(d)
Sol.
CP of 40 books = MP of 16 books
CP × 40 = MP × 16
CP/MP=2/5
Let CP = 2n
MP = 5n
SP=2n+(2n×100)/100=4n
Required Discount % =(5n-4n)/5n×100=20%

S2. Ans.(a)
Sol.
CP of first test series = 34534.5/77×100=44850
CP of second test series = 34534.5/156×100=22137.5
Total CP = 66987.5
Total SP = 69069
Profit = 2081.5
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol.
17 11/17%=3/17
Atq, 28.15- 15.2 = 12.95
12.95 = 17x+20x
CP = 12.95/37×17+15.2=21.15
Sum of digits = 2 + 1 + 1 + 5
= 9

S4. Ans.(c)
Sol.

S5. Ans.(b)
Sol.

S6. Ans.(D)
Sol.
Let total ground nut = 4 kg
C.P. = (45 + 9) ×4= Rs. 216
S.P. = (216×123)/100=Rs. 265.68
(265.68 – 70.5) = 195.18 Rs

S7. Ans.(C)
Sol.
Old CP = 100, Profit = 260%, SP = 360
If CP ↑es by 36% =100×34/25=136
P% = ((360 –136))/136×100 = 164.7%

S8. Ans.(C)
Sol.
L% = ((13)^2–(12)^2)/(13)^2 ×100
= 25/169×100 ⇒14.79%

S9.Ans(C)
Sol. IF cp of a article is b and sp of b article is a then
P%=((a)^2 – (b)^2)/(b)^2 ×100
P% =((19)^2 – (18)^2)/(18)^2 ×100
= 11.41% profit

S10.Ans(B)
Sol. By allegation
