Question 1 A Book store offers a 10% discount on all the books sold plus an
Not answered
additional discount of 5% on the total bill, If the total bill after initial
discount is more than or equal to Rs. 1000. Raju bought 3 books
Marked out of 1.00 worth of Rs. 450, Rs. 520 and Rs. 250. How much money was Raju
able to save as a result of various discounts offered by the store

Select one:
a. Rs. 102

b. Rs. 176.90

c. Rs. 61

d. Rs. 183

e. None of the above

As the book shop offers 10% discount on all the books,

After discount, the cost of first book will be 405 (savings Rs. 45,
which is 10% of 450)
After discount, the cost of second book will be 468 (savings, Rs. 52
which is 10% of 520)
After discount, the cost of third book will be 250 (savings, 25 which
is 10% of 250)

After discounts on individual books, the bill is 405+468+250 = 1098

If the bill is more than 1000, the shop offers another 5% disocunt

So Raju will save 54.90 on total bill.

The total savings are 45+52+25+54.90 = 176.90
The correct answer is: Rs. 176.90

Question 2 Every year before the festive season, a shop keeper increases the
Not answered
price of the products by 35% and then introduces two successive
discounts of 10% and 15% respectively. What is his percentage of
Marked out of 1.00 loss or gain

Select one:
a. 3.27 % loss

b. 3.27% gain

c. No profit, No loss

d. 8.875% loss

e. 8.875% gain

Assume the initial selling price of article as Rs. 100

after increasing the selling price by 35%, it becomes Rs. 135

A disount of 10% on Rs. 135 make it Rs. 121.5

A discount of 15% on Rs. 121.5 will make it Rs. 103.27

So the total gain is Rs. 3.27

The correct answer is: 3.27% gain

Question 3 In a certain store, the profit is 320% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25%

Not answered but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the

selling price is the profit?
Marked out of 1.00

Select one:
a. 30

b. 70

c. 100

d. 250

Your answer is incorrect.

Let C.P.= Rs. 100. Then, Profit = Rs. 320, S.P. = Rs. 420.

New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125

New S.P. = Rs. 420.

Profit = Rs. (420 ­ 125) = Rs. 295.
295 1475
Required percentage = x 100 % = % = 70% (approximately).
420 21
The correct answer is: 70

Question 4 Ramu bought 300 liters of milk at Rs. 19 per liter. He added 200 liters
Not answered
of water to it and old 400 liters of this milk at Rs. 20 per liter. To the
rest he added 10 liters more water and then sold it for Rs. 15 per liter.
Marked out of 1.00 If he used mineral water that costs Rs. 10 per liter, then the total
money earned by Ramu is

Select one:
a. Rs. 4000

b. Rs. 4150

c. Rs. 1800

d. Rs. 1850

(19 rs * 300lt.) + ((200+10)lt.*10rs)=C.P.

(20rs * 400lt) + ((100+10)lt. * 15rs)=S.P.

where milk costs 19 rs / lt.

and mineral water costs 10 rs / lt.

so earned profit = S.P - C.P =1850 RS

The correct answer is: Rs. 1850

Question 5 If the price of rice increases by 30%, then by what percent should its
Not answered
consumption be decreased so that the total expenditure remains
same?
Marked out of 1.00

Select one:
a. 76.92%

b. 23.07%

c. 30%

d. 25%

e. 42.85%

There is a shortcut
100m
 where m is the % increase.
100 + m
So here m = 30
100 × 30 3000
= = 23.07%
100 + 30 130
The correct answer is: 23.07%
