Option 1: Rs. 8550

Option 2: Rs. 4580

Option 3: Rs. 3050

Option 4: Rs. 6560

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 6560


Solution : Principal, $P$ = Rs. 64,000
Rate of interest, $R$ = 5%
Time, $T$ = 2 years
Total amount = $P(1+\frac{R}{100})^{T}$
⇒ Total amount = $64000(1+\frac{5}{100})^2$
⇒ Total amount = $64000(\frac{21}{20})^2$
⇒ Total amount = $64000×\frac{21}{20}×\frac{21}{20}$
⇒ Total amount = $70560$

Question : A shopkeeper allows a 20% discount on the marked price of an article and he suffers a loss of 12%. If the article is sold at marked price, then what will be the profit percentage?

Option 1: 10%

Option 2: 12.5%

Option 3: 9.69%

Option 4: 8.33%

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10%


Solution : Given,
Discount = 20%
Loss = 12%
We know,
$\frac{\text{Marked price}}{\text{Cost Price}}=\frac{100\pm\text{Profit/Loss}}{100-\text{Discount}}$
⇒ $\frac{MP}{CP}=\frac{100-12}{100-20}$
⇒ $\frac{MP}{CP}=\frac{88}{80}$
⇒ $\frac{MP}{CP}=\frac{11}{10}$
If there is no discount, means discount = 0%, then profit%
⇒ $\frac{MP}{CP}=\frac{100+\text{profit}}{100-\text{discount}}$
⇒ $\frac{11}{10}=\frac{100+\text{profit}}{100}$
⇒ $110=100+\ \text{profit}$
⇒ Profit % = 10%
Hence, the correct answer
