Solution:
1.
Answer - D
Explanation
Suppose, number of oranges bought = LCM of 6 and 4 = 12
∴CP = Re (10/6 * 12) = Re 20 and SP = Re (6/4 * 12) = Re 18
∴Loss% = (2/20 * 100)% = 10%
2.
Answer - A
Explanation
(SP of 33m) - (CP of 33m) = Gain = SP of 11m
∴ SP of 22m = CP of 33m
Let CP of each meter be Re 1. Then, CP of 22m = Re 22.
Hence SP of 22m = Re 33.
∴ %Gain = 11/22 * 100
= 50%
3.
Answer - A
Explanation
Mean Cost price = Re (100/120)*96 = Re 80 per kg
Apply rule of allegation,
there4; Required ratio = 30:20 = 3:2
4.
Answer - C
Explanation
Let the CP of each article = Re 1.
Then CP of 20 articles = Re 20.
SP of 20 articles = CP of 25 articles = Re 25.
∴ Gain% = (5/20)*100% = 25%
5.
Answer - D
Explanation
CP of 200 kg of mixture = Re (80 * 13.50) + (120 * 16) = Re 3000
SP = 116% of Re 3000 = Re (116/100)*3000 = Re 3480
∴Rate of SP = Re 3480/200 = Re 17.40/kg
6.
Answer - B
Explanation
CP of 3 cookies = Re 1
SP of 3 cookies = 150% of Re 1 = 3/2
For Re 3/2, the man sells 3 cookies.
Hence for Re 1, number of cookies sold = 3*2/3 = 2
7.
Answer - C
Explanation
SP for Chandan = 600 * (110/100) * (105/100) * (80/100)
= 600 * 924/1000
= Re 554.40
8.
Answer - A
Explanation
CP for X = 500 * (100/80) * (100/115) * (100/95) * (100/110)
= 500 * 10000/9614
= Re 520.07
9.
Answer - D
Explanation
After the price was reduced, 900 gm now costs Re 8.10.
Hence 1000gm will cost (1000/900)*8.10 = Re 9
% change in actual price or loss = [(10 - 9)/10]*100%
= 10%
10.
Answer - C
Explanation
Let the CP = Re 100
∴ SP = 100 * (120/100) * (110/100)
= Re 132
Final profit = (132 - 100)*100%
= 32%
