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 - Rs. 40 is the true discount on Rs. 520 due after a certain time. What will be the true discount on the same sum due after half of the former time, the rate of interest being the same?
Answer : C
Explanation
S.I. on Rs. (520 - 40) for a given time = Rs. 40. S.I. on Rs. 480 for half the time = Rs. 20. T.D. on Rs. 500 = Rs. 20 T.D. on Rs. 520 =Rs. ( 20/480 * 520)= Rs. 21.66
Q 3 - The banker's gain on a bill due 3 year hence at 6% per annum is Rs. 18. The true discount is:
Answer : A
Explanation
T.D=(B.G * 100)/( R * T) = 18 * 100/( 6 * 3) = Rs. 100
Q 4 - The true discount on a bill of Rs. 360 is Rs. 60. The banker's discount is:
Answer : A
Explanation
P.W.=Rs.(360-60)=Rs.300 SI on Rs.300 =Rs.60 SI on Rs.360 =Rs. (60/300) * 360=Rs.72 B.D. = Rs.72
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 present worth of Rs 2800 due 2 years henceforth at 6% p.a. is:
Answer : B
Explanation
P.W. = ((100*A))/(100+(R*T))- Rs {(100*2800)/(100+(6*2))}
=Rs ((100*2800)/112)=Rs 2500
Q 7 - The basic hobby and the true rebate on a sure aggregate for a given time and at a given rate are Rs 85 and Rs 80 separately. The entirety due is:
Answer : A
Explanation
Sum due = ((S.I.)*(T.D.))/((S.I.)-(T.D.))=Rs ((85*80))/((85-80))=((85*80))/5= Rs 1360
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 - The genuine markdown on Rs 960 due 2 years thus is equivalent to the basic enthusiasm on Rs 750 for a long time. What is the rate of interest per annum?
Answer : B
Explanation
S.I. on Rs 750 for 2 years = T.D. on Rs 960 due 2 years hence ∴ P.W. of Rs. 960 due 2 years hence = Rs 750 ∴ T.D. = Rs (960-750) = Rs 210 ∴ Rate = ((100*210))/((750*2))% p.a. = 14% p.a.
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?
