a. 750
b. 1250
c. 1500

a. Rs 540
b. Rs 450
c. Rs 600
d. Rs 360
Solution. A change from 19% loss to 17% gain means a change of 36%

 

36% = 162

 

1% = 162/36

 

100% = 162/36 × 100 = 450 Rs

Answer. b
10. If the selling price of an article is 4/3 of its cost price, the profit in transaction is
a. 16.75%
b. 20.50%
c. 25.50%
d. 33.33%
Solution. Lets assume CP as Rs.300/-

So SP will be 300 x (4/3) = Rs.400/-

Profit = SP-CP= Rs.100/-

ie if SP is 4/3=(1.3333) then CP will be 1 and profit will be 1.33333–1=0.3333

1/3 = 0.3333

12. A sum of money is to be distributed among P, Q and R in the ratio of 6:19:7. If R gives Rs 200 from his share to Q. the ratio of P, Q and R becomes 3: 10:3, what is the total sum?
a. Rs 3200
b. Rs 12800
c. Rs 6400
d. Data inadequate
Solution. Let the 6x, 19x and 7x be the money distributed among, P, Q and R respectively,

 

Hence, 6x + 19x + 7x = 32 x is the total amount of money

 

After R gives Rs 200 to Q, there ratio become 3x:10x:3x = 6x:20x:6x,

 

if we compare this ratio to the above ration we will see a change from 7x to 6x and 19x to 20x,

 

Hence there difference i.e x = 200,

 

Therefore the total amount of money

= 32x = 32× 200 = 6400 Rs

Answer. c
13. 75 pupils from a school appeared for an examination and 80% of them passed. Another school entered 10 more pupils than the first school and five pupils less than the first school passed. The pass % of in the second school was
a. 75%
b. 84%
c. 72%
d. 64.7%
Solution. Number of students who passed in the first school

75 x 0.8 = 60

Number of students who appeared for exam in the second case = 75 + 10 = 85.

Number of students who passed from the second school is 5 less than the first school.

60 – 5= 55

Hence, the passing percentage of the second school
