Mahindra Comviva Profit and Loss Problems with Solutions Quiz -1

Let the cost price be 100%. It is sold at 10% loss. So it is sold at 90% of the cost price. 90 % of the cost price + 450 = 108% of the Cost price 18% of the cost price = Rs 450 Cost price of the book = 450/18 x 100 = Rs 2500

Here profit is the twice the loss Profit = 2 Loss SP –CP = 2 (CP – SP) 480 –CP = 2(CP – 300) 3 CP = 1080 CP= 360

85% - 1020 ,112% - x, x= 1344

125% of 120% of A = 225.
=> 125/100 * 120/100 * A = 225
=> A = 225 * 2/3 = 150.

Let the cost price of the watch be x.

It was sold for 10% loss that is 90x/100

If it was sold for 140 more, the price would be 90x/100 + 140 and this would be 4% gain which is 104x/100

So, 104x/100 = 90x/100 + 140

Multiply through by 100, we have

104x =90x + 14000

Subtract 90x from both sides, we have

14x = 14000

Divide both sides by 14, we have x = 1000

The answer is 1000, the cost price

Original price = 100 CP = 80 S = 80*(140/100) = 112 100 – 112 = 12%

If the cost price is Rs.100, then to get a profit of 20%, the selling price should be Rs.120. If 120kg are to be sold, and the dealer gives only 100kg, to get a profit of 20%. How many grams he has to give instead of one kilogram(1000 gm). 120 gm —— 100 gm 1000 gm —— ? (1000 * 100)/120 = 2500/3 = 833 1/3 grams.

15 CP = 18 SP 18 — 3 CP loss 100 — ? => 16 2/3% loss

Let CP OF 1 ARTICLE= RS.1
THEN CP OF 12 ARTICLES= 12
AND SP OF 12 ARTICLES= 15
GAIN= SP-CP= 15-12=3
GAIN%= (GAIN/CP)*100 %
=(3/12)*100
=25%

800*(25/100) = 200 ---- 5
? ---- 1 => 1*200/5=> Rs.40
