SSC CGL 202011)A manufacturer sells cooking gas stoves to shopkeepers at 10% profit, and in turn they sell the cooking gas stoves to customer to earn 15% profit. If a customer gets a cooking gas stove for Rs. 7,590, then what is its manufacturing cost?
Rs. 6,000
Let the production cost of gas stove be Rs. x. According to the question, 115% of 110% of x = 7590; ⇒\(x ={ 7590\times100\times100\over110\times115}\) = Rs. 6000
SSC CGL 202012)A shopkeeper marked a computer table for Rs. 7,200. He allows a discount of 10% on it and yet makes profit of 8%. What will be his gain percentage if he does NOT allow any discount?
20%
Let the cost price of computer table be x. According to the question, 108% of x = 90% of 7200; x = Rs. 6000 ; If no discount is provided, Gain percent = \({7200-6000\over6000}\times100\) = 20%
SSC CGL 202013)An article was sold at a gain of 18%. If it had been sold for Rs. 49 more, then the gain would have been 25%. The cost price of the article is:
Rs. 700
Let the cost price of an article be Rs. x.
According to the question, (25% - 18%) of x = 49; ⇒ x = Rs. 700
SSC CGL 202014)A shopkeeper marks the price of an article in such a way that after allowing a discount of 22%, he gets a gain of 11%.If the marked price is Rs.888, then the cost price of the article is:
Rs. 624
Marked price = 888;
Discount = 22%;
Selling price = 888 x 78/100 = 692.64;
Gain = 11% so selling price = 111% of cost price;
692.64 = 111% of cost price;
Cost price = 692.64 x 100/111 = Rs. 624
SSC CGL 202015)Sudhir purchased a laptop for Rs. 42,000 and a scanner-cum-printer for Rs. 8,000. He sold the laptop for a 10% profit and the scanner-cum- printer for a 5% profit. What is his profit percentage?
\(9{1\over5}\)%
Total cost price of laptop and scanner-cum-printer = 42000 + 8000 = Rs. 50000; Total profit on selling laptop and scanner-cum-printer = 10% of 42000 + 5% of 8000 = Rs. 4600; therefore, Gain % = \({4600\over50000}\times100= 9{1\over5}\)%
SSC CGL 202016)A furniture shopkeeper allows a discount of 16% on the marked price of the goods to his customers and still gains 20%. What is the marked price of a dining table, which costs the shopkeeper Rs. 11,900?
Rs. 17,000
Let the market price of dining table = Rs. x ; Cost price of dining table = Rs. 11900; According to the question, 84% of x = 120% of 11900 ; ⇒ x = 17000
SSC CGL 202017)The marked price of an item is 25% above its cost price. A shopkeeper sells it, allowing a discount of x % on the marked price. If he incurs a loss of 8%, then the value of x is :
26.4
Let the cost price of an article be 100.
Marked price = \(100\times 125/100 = 125\);
Discount = x%; Loss = 8%;
Selling price = \(100 \times 92/100 = 92\);
Selling price = marked price - discount ⇒ Discount = 125 - 92 = 33;
x% = \(\frac{33}{125} \times 100\) = 26.4%
SSC CGL 202018)Reema sold 48 articles for Rs. 2,160 and suffered a loss of 10%. How many articles should she sell for Rs. 2,016 to earn a profit of 12%?
36
Selling price of 48 articles when loss of 10% = 2160 ;
Selling price of 1 articles = \({2160\over48}\) = Rs. 45 ;
Cost price of 1 article = 2400/48 = Rs. 50 ;
For 12% profit Selling price of one article = \(50\times112\over100\) = Rs. 56 ;
Number of articles = 2016/56 = 36
SSC CGL 202019)A shopkeeper bought 80 kg of rice at a discount of 10%. Besides 1 kg rice was offered free to him on the purchase of every 20 kg rice. If he sells the rice at the marked price, his profit percentage will be:
\(16{2\over3}\)%
Let the Price of 1 kg rice be Rs.1.
Total rice bought = 80 kg ;
He offered 1 kg rice free on the purchase of every 20 kg rice.
Free rice = 80/20 = 4 kg ;
Rate of 80 kg rice = Rs.80 ; Discount = 10%;
Cost price of rice for shopkeeper = \(80\times{90\over100}\) = Rs.72 ;
Selling price of rice for shopkeeper = 80 + 4 = Rs.84 ;
Profit = 84 - 72 = Rs. 12 ;
Profit percentage = \({12\over72}\times100\) = \(16{2\over3}\) %

11.6%
Cost price of article for Sudha = \({100\over80}\times 576=Rs. 720\) ; Actual cost price of article for Renu = Rs. (576+224}= Rs. 800 ;
Selling price of article for Renu = 124% of 720 = Rs. 892.8 ;
Required gain percent = \({892.8-800\over800}\times 100\) = 11.6%
