Question : In a showroom, the price of a washing machine is Rs. 65,000. The customer gets a cash discount of Rs. 2,000 and gets a scratch card promising a percentage discount of 10% to 15%. Determine the difference between the least and the maximum selling prices of the washing machine.
Option 1: Rs. 3,150
Option 2: Rs. 3,570
Option 3: Rs. 3,200
Option 4: Rs. 3,650
Correct Answer: Rs. 3,150
Solution : Here, the price of a washing machine is Rs. 65,000 and the discount is Rs. 2,000. Price of washing machine after cash discount = Rs. (65,000 – 2,000) = Rs. 63,000 Now, a percentage discount of 10% to 15% is given. We know, Selling price = $\frac{100-\text{Discount}\ \%}{100}×$ cost price Maximum selling price of washing machine = $63000 \times \frac{90}{100}$ = Rs. 56,700 Least selling price of washing machine = $63000 \times \frac{85}{100}$ = Rs. 53,550 $\therefore$ Difference = Rs. 56,700 – Rs. 53,550 = Rs. 3,150 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 3,150.
Question : If $2A=3B$, then what is the value of $\frac{A+B}{A}$?
Option 1: $\frac{5}{4}$
Option 2: $\frac{2}{3}$
Option 3: $\frac{5}{2}$
Option 4: $\frac{5}{3}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{3}$
Solution : Given: $2A=3B$ ⇒ $\frac{A}{B}=\frac{3}{2}$ Let, $A=3k,B=2k$ $\frac{A+B}{A}=\frac{3k+2k}{3k}=\frac{5}{3}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{5}{3}$.
Question : A single discount equivalent to three successive discounts of 8%, 15% and 12% is:
Option 1: 17.5%
Option 2: 68.816%
Option 3: 35%
Option 4: 31.184%
Correct Answer: 31.184%
Solution : The successive discounts are 8%, 15% and 12%. Let the initial value be 100. Discounted value = (100 – 8)% of (100 – 15)% of (100 – 12)% of 100 = 92% of 85% of 88% of 100 = $\frac{92}{100} × \frac{85}{100} × \frac{88}{100} × 100$ = 68.816 Equivalent discount = $\frac{(100 - \text{Discounted value})}{\text{Initial value}} \times 100=\frac{(100 - 68.816)}{100} \times 100=31.184$% Hence, the correct answer is 31.184%.
