QUESTION-

A is thrice as good a workman as B and takes 10 days less to do a piece of work than B takes. B alone can do the whole work in?

By selling oranges at Rs. 12 per kg, a man loses 10%. For gaining 25%, what should be the cost price?

An article is sold at a profit of 20%. If both the cost price and selling price are Rs. 100 less, the profit would be 4% more. Find the cost price ?

ANSWER

The ratio of times taken by A and B =1:3 Means B will take 3 times which A will do in 1 time.

If the difference of time is 2 days, B takes 3 days.

If difference of time is 10 days B takes

3/2×10=15 days

ANSWER 2

S.P.(Loss) : C.P. = S.P.(Gain)

90 : 100 = 150

Hence, Price S.P.(%) Price S.P.(%)

12 : 90 = x : 125

∴x= 12*125/90=Rs.16.67

ANSWER 3

Let CP =x=x, so S.P =1.2x

When CP is Rs. 100 less,

CP=x−100

SP=1.2x−100

Now,

1.2x−100=1.24×(x−100)

On solving , we get

x=600

CP=Rs.600

Answer 2

ANSWER 1) - -

Ratio of times taken by A and B = 1:3

Means B will take 3 times which A will do in 1 time

If difference of time is 2 days, B takes 3 days

If difference of time is 10 days, B takes (3/2) * 10 =15 days

ANSWER 2)--

Let the cost price of article be ₹x.

An article sold at a profit of 20%

Thus the selling price = ₹x + 0.20x = ₹1.2x.

If both the cost price and selling price would be ₹20, the profit would be 10% more, means profit will be 20% + 10% = 30%

On reducing cost price and selling price the prices will be x - 20 and 1.2x - 20 respectively, and the profit will be 1.3. Accordingly

(1.2x - 20) = (x - 20) × 1.3

1.2x - 20 = 1.3x - 26

1.2x - 1.3x = 20 - 26

—0.1x = —6

0.1x = 6

x = 6 / 0.1

x = 60

Thus**,** the cost price of the article is ₹60.00

**Answer the cost price of that article is ₹60.00**
