Quantitative Aptitude: Profit and Loss Set 21

1. The ratio selling prices of three materials P,Q and R is 19:25:27., the ratio of percentage profit is 7:10:4, respectively. If the cost price of material P and Q is 400 and 500 respectively. Then what is the total selling price of all three materials?
   Rs 1704
   Rs 1802
   Rs 1500
   Rs 1650
   None of these
   Option A
   400*(1+7a/100)/ 500*(1+10a/100) = 19/25
   a = 2
   Profit percentages = 14%, 20% and 8%
   19*b = 400*114/100
   b = 24
   Total SP = (19+25+27)*24 = 1704
   
    



2. Rishi sells two varieties of wheat P and Q. He mixes 12 Kg of P with 16 kg of Q, and by selling this mixture at price of Q wheat he gets 20% profit. If the price of P variety wheat is Rs.66/Kg, then what is the price of Q variety /Kg?
   Rs 140
   Rs 108
   Rs 95
   Rs 100
   None of these
   Option B
   120/100*(12*66+16Q) = 28*Q
   Q = 108
   
    



3. The ratio selling prices of three articles P,Q and R is 29:27:32., the ratio of percentage profit is 4:2:5, respectively. If the cost price of article P is equal to Q and the cost price of article R is Rs. 480. Then what is the overall gain?
   20%
   10%
   15%
   18%
   None of these
   Option C
   29a/27a = (100+4b/100+2b)
   b = 4
   32a = 480(120/100)
   a =18
   SP’s are 522,486,576
   CP of A=29*18 = CP (116/100)
   CP =450
   CP’s are 450,450 and 480
   Overall gain =1584 =1380(100+gain/100)
   gain =15%
   
    



4. Akansha sold a repair freeze to Banya at a profit of 30% and Banya sold it to Caryl at a profit of 20%. Caryl sold it to Diksha at a loss of 23.07%.

   None of these
   Option B
   Let Initial quantity= 100 litre
   After mixing 10% water, Quantity of mixture =110 * 110 / 100 =121 litre
   CP of 1 litre of Solution = Rs.1
   Total CP = Rs.100
   Total SP = Rs.121
   Profit = 121 – 100 = 21%
