Q 1 - A shopkeeper professes to sell all things at a discount of 20% ,but increases selling price of each article by 30% .His gain on each article is
Answer : B
Explanation
Let us assume cost price is 100.Then the marked price is 130 SP=130 * 80/100= 104. Profit % =(S.P-C.P)/(C.P) * 100=(104-100)/100 * 100 =4%
Q 2 - The true discount on Rs. 3520 due after a certain time at 18% per annum is Rs. 320. The time after which it is due is:
Answer : C
Explanation
P.W. = Rs. (3520 -320) = Rs. 3200. S.I. on Rs. 3200 at 18% is Rs. 320. Time = ( 100*TD)/PW*R= ( 100*320)/3200*18= 5/9 years
Q 3 - The present worth of a sum due sometime hence is Rs. 1024 and the banker's gain is Rs.64. The true discount is:
Answer : A
Explanation
T.D. = √(P.W.x B.G.) =√(1024x64.) =Rs. 256
Q 4 - A man buys a watch for Rs. 2825 in cash and sells it for Rs. 3300 at a credit of 1 year. If the rate of interest is 15% per annum, the man:
Answer : B
Explanation
S.P. = P.W. of Rs. 3300 due 1 year hence = 3300*100/( 100+(10*1))=Rs.3000 So Gain = Rs. (3000-2825) =Rs. 175.
Q 5 - The banker's discount on a sum of money for 2.5 years is Rs. 1125 and the true discount on the same sum for 2 years is Rs.800. The rate percent is:
Answer : A
Explanation
B.D. for 2.5(5/2) years = Rs. 1125. B.D. for 2 years = Rs. (1125*( 2)/5*2) =Rs. 900. T.D. for 2 years = Rs. 800. Sum =( B.D*T.D )/(B.D*-T.D)=Rs.( ( 900*800 )/(900-800))=Rs. 900*800/100=Rs. 7200 Thus, Rs. 900 is SI on Rs. 7200 for 2 years Rate = ( 100*900 )/7200*2=6.25%
Q 6 - The genuine rebate on Rs 5125 due 6 months subsequently is Rs 125. The rate of interest per annum is:
Answer : A
Explanation
P.W. = Rs (5125-125) = Rs 5000 S.I. on Rs 5000 for 1/2 year is Rs 125 ∴ R = (100*125)/(5000*1/2)% p.a. = 5% p.a.
Q 7 - The straightforward hobby and the genuine rebate on a sure total due 6 months subsequently are Rs 25 and Rs 24 individually. The rate of interest per annum is:
Answer : D
Explanation
((S.I.)*(T.D.))/((S.I.)-(T.D.))=Rs ((25*24))/((25-24))= Rs 600 S.I. on Rs 600 for 6 months is Rs 25 ∴ Rate = (100*125)/(600*6/12)% p.a. = 25/3% p.a.
Q 8 - A man bought dairy animals for Rs 3000 in real money and sold it that day for Rs 3660 due 2 years consequently. In the event that the rate of hobby is 10% p.a., the man picks up:
Answer : D
Explanation
C.P. = Rs 3000 S.P. = P.W. of Rs 3660 due years hence = Rs ((100*3660))/(100+(10*2))=Rs ((100*3660))/120 = Rs 3050 ∴ Gain% = (50/3000*100)% = 5/3%
Q 9 - I purchased a bike for Rs 1056 in real money and sold it around the same time for Rs 1296 payable following 6 months. On the off chance that the rate of hobby is 12% p.a., what amount was my addition?
Answer : C
Explanation
C.P. = Rs 1056 S.P. = P.W. of Rs 1296 due 6 months hence = Rs. (100*1296)/(100+(12*1/2) ) = Rs ((100*1296))/106= 1200 ∴ Profit = Rs (1200-1056) = Rs 144 Gain% = (144/1056*100)% = 13.6%
Q 10 - A businessperson needs to pay to a wholesaler a total of Rs 10028 following 1 year. He needs to pay the obligation following 3 months. On the off chance that the rate of hobby is 12% p.a., the amount he will need to pay?
