    A fruit seller makes a profit of 20% by selling mangoes at a certain price. If he charges ₹ 1 more for each mango, he can make a profit of 40%. Find the selling price of a mango in the first case.
    Solutions
    Let there are ‘n’ mangos and ‘x’ be the selling price of one mango.
    Hence S. P. of all mangos = nx ₹
    Profit = 20%
    Hence C. P. of ‘n’ mangos = (100nx)/120 = 5nx/6
    If S.P. of each mango is increase by ₹ 1, profit =40%
    S.P. of all mangos =n(x+1)
    Hence S.P.


    ⇒ 6 (x+1) = 7x 

    Hence price of each mango = ₹ 6
  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0.25
    A man sold two articles at Rs, 375 each. On one, he gains 25% and on the other, he loses 25%. The gain or loss% on the whole transaction is
    Solutions
    Let C. P. of a first article= X Rs.
    Let C. P. of a second article = Y Rs.
    Gain after selling first article = 25% = 25X/100 = X/4 Rs.
    S. P. of first bullock
    ⇒ 5X = 1500 ⇒ X = 300 Rs
    C.P. of first article= Rs 300
    C. P. of both article = Rs X + Y
    Loss in the second article = 25%
    Hence S.P.
    Hence
    C. P. of second article = Rs. 500
    Total C. P. of both article = 300 + 500 = 800
    Selling price of first and second article together = 2 × 375 = 750 Rs.
    Therefore loss = 800 – 750 = Rs 50
    % loss
    Alternate approach:

    Since there are two different products with different C.P., we have to find C.P.s from the two given S.P.s
  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0.25
    If the percentage of profit calculated on selling price of an article is 20%, percentage of profit calculated on cost price will be
    Solutions
    Short Trick:
    20% of 1/5
    profit is calculated on SP.
    SP = 5 unit
    Profit = 1 unit
    CP = SP-Profit
    CP = 5-1 = 4 unit
    Now profit % on CP
    = (1/4)*100 = 25%
    Basic Method:
    Given,
    Profit % = [(S.P. – C.P.) × 100] / S.P. = 20
    [(S.P. – C.P.) × 5] / S.P. = 1
    [(S.P. – C.P.) × 5] = S.P.
    5 S.P. – 5 C.P. = S.P.
    4 S.P. = 5 C.P.
    Therefore, Required profit % on C.P. will be
    = (5 - 4) × 100 / 4 = 25%

    Mahatma Gandhi died on 30th January 1948. What was the day on which he died?
    Solutions
    Up to 1600 AD we have 0 odd days, up to 1900 AD we have 1 odd day.
    Now in 47 years we have,
    11 leap years and 36 normal years.
    Odd days from 1901 to 1947 = 11 x 2 +36 x1 = 22 + 36 =58 odd days
    = 8 weeks + 2 odd days
    Total odd days up to 31st December 1947 = 1 + 2 = 3 odd days
    30 days of January contain only 4 weeks + 2 odd days
    So 30th January 1948 has total 5 odd days
    Day on 30th January 1948 = Friday.
    Hence, option D is the correct answer.
