Nithin ? Aug 2 '2022 at 21:45

Correct answer is: Rs.1,05,000

Explanation:

Let the investment in 1995 be Rs.x

Income in 1995 with 20% profit = 1.20x

Also the income in 1996 = 1.20x

Investment in 1996

= Rs.(x - 5000)

Profit in 1996 = (20 + 6)% = 26%

Income in 1996 with 26% profit

= 1.26 (x - 5000)

Therefore, 1.26 (x 5000) = 1.20x

0.06 x = 1.26 x 5000

\(x = \Large \frac{6300}{0.06}\)

x = Rs.105000

A0.25

B0.4

C0.3

D0.2

nithin ? Aug 2 '2022 at 8:29

Correct answer is: 0.2

Explanation:

\(\text{CP. of 40 kg of mixture = Rs. }\Large 25 \times 32 + 15 \times 36\)

\(\text{= Rs }\Large 25 \times 32 + 15 \times 36\)

\(\text{= Rs. }\Large \left(800 + 540\right) \text{= Rs. 1340}\)

\(\text{SP of 40 kg of mixture}\)

\(\text{= Rs}. \left(40 \times 40.2\right) \text{= Rs.1608}\)

\(\text{Profit = Rs. (1608 - 1340) = Rs.268}\)

\(\text{Profit % = } \Large \frac{268}{1340} \times 100 \text{= 20%}\)

Kumar purchased an item for Rs.46,000 and sold it at a loss of 12 per cent. With that amount, she purchased another item and sold it at a gain of 12 per cent. What was her overall gain/loss?

A Loss of Rs.662.40

B Profit of Rs.662.40

CLoss of Rs.642.80

D Profit of Rs.642.80

nithin ? Aug 1 '2022 at 21:48

Correct answer is:  Loss of Rs.662.40

Explanation:

From the question

CP = 46000

Loss = 12%

∴ SP = 46000 - 12% of 46000 = 40480

Now new CP = 40480

Given that Profit = 12%

∴ SP = 40480 + 12% of 40480 = 45337.6

∴ 46000 - 45337.6 = 662.4 loss

Hence option (a) is the answer.
