A. Rs. 460
B. Rs. 480
C. Rs. 500
D. Rs. 520

Explanation: SP = 800, Profit = 25%
CP = (SP)*[100/(100+P)]
= 800 * [100/125] = 640
Loss = 25% = 25% of 640 = Rs. 160
SP = CP – Loss = 640 – 160 = Rs. 480

### Most Important Profit & loss Question Answer

Q. Bhajan Singh purchased 120 reams of paper at Rs. 80 per ream. He spent Rs. 280 on transportation. Paid octrai at the rate of 40 paise per ream and paid Rs. 72 to the coolie. If he wants to have a gain of 8 %. What must be the selling price per ream?
A. Rs. 86
B. Rs. 88
C. Rs. 90
D. Rs. 92

Explanation: C.P of 120 reams = Rs. (120 × 80 + 280 + 72 + 120 × 40) = Rs. 10000
C.P of 1 ream = (10000/120) = Rs. (250/3)
S.P of 1 ream = Rs. (108/100 × 250/3) = Rs. 90

Q. If an article is sold at a loss of 66 2/3%, what is the loss in terms of the selling price?
A. 50%
B. 100%
C. 150%
D. 200%

Explanation: Let the C. P. = 100
∴ Amount of loss = 66 2/3 or 200/3
⇒ S. P = 100 – 66 2/3 = 33 1/3 or 100/3
∴ Loss expressed in terms of S. P. = 100 × (200/3)/(100/3) 100 = 200%

Q. A shopkeeper bought 150 pen drives at the rate of Rs. 500 per pen drive. He spent Rs. 500 on transportation and packing. If the marked price of pen drive is Rs. 520 per pen drive and the shopkeeper gives a discount of 5% on the marked price then what will be the percentage profit gained by the shopkeeper?
A. 1.2%
B. 3.8%
C. 4.5%
D. 5.5%

Explanation: C.P. of 150 calculators = 150 * 500 = Rs. 75000
∴ Total C.P. = 75000 + 500 = Rs. 75500
Marked price of 150 calculator = 150 * 570 = Rs. 82500
Selling price after discount = 82500 * 95 / 100 = Rs. 78375
∴ percentage profit = [(78375 – 75500) / 75500] * 100 = 3.8%

Q. An article is sold at 25% profit. If the CP and the SP of the article are increased by Rs 60 and Rs 30 respectively, the profit% decreases by 15%. Find the cost price of the article.
A. Rs. 190
B. Rs. 240
C. Rs. 285
D. Rs. 305

Explanation: CP = x, then SP = (125/100)*x = 5x/4
New CP = (x+60), new SP = (5x/4 + 30), new profit% = 25-15 = 10
So (5x/4 + 30) = (110/100) * (x+60)
Solve, x = 240

Q. A person sold a pen at Rs. 96 in such a way that his percentage profit is same as the cost price of the watch. If he sells it at twice the percentage profit of its previous percentage profit then new selling price will be?
A. Rs. 132
B. Rs. 150
C. Rs. 180
D. Rs. 192

Explanation: CP = x
Profit Percentage = x%
SP = x(100 + x)/100
x(100 + x)/100 = 96
x = 60
Profit Percentage = 60%
New SP = 60 * 220 / 100 = 132

A. 143 : 144

Explanation: A = 90/100*75/100
=> 0.675
B = 85/100*80/100
=> 0.68
=> 680 : 675
=> 136 : 135
