Question : If the cost price of 10 articles is equal to the selling price of 16 articles, then the loss percentage is:

Option 1: 30%

Option 2: 37.5%

Option 3: 42.5%

Option 4: 45%

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 37.5%


Solution : Given:
The cost price (CP) of 10 articles is equal to the selling price (SP) of 16 articles.
Let the CP of each article = Re. 1
Then, CP of 16 articles = Rs. 16
SP of 16 articles = CP of 10 articles = Rs. 10
Loss = CP of 16 articles – SP of 16 articles = 16 – 10 = Rs. 6
$\therefore$ Loss percentage = $\frac{6}{16}$ × 100 = 37.5%
Hence, the correct answer is 37.5%.

Option 1: 40 km, West

Option 2: 10 km, West

Option 3: 40 km, East

Option 4: 10 km, East

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10 km, East


Solution : According to the instructions given, the diagram is as follows –

Here, A is the starting point and B is the finishing point and AB is the total distance from the starting point.

AC = 25 km; BC = ED = 15 km; CD = BE = 30 km
And, AB = AC – BC = 25 – 15 = 10 km

So, the distance between point B and point A is 10 and is in the East direction. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
