Answer 1

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Question seems a bit tricky, but it is very simple.
Just calculate all Cost price, then get 150% of CP.

C.P. = 10000 + 5000 + 1000 = 16000

150% of 16000 = 150/100 * 16000 = 24000

Answer 2

Cost price of almirah= Rs. 5200
Overhead expenses charged for it's transportation= Rs. 180
Overhead expenses charged on painting= Rs. 120
Total cost price= 5200+180+120= Rs. 5500
Gain= 10%

Selling price= Cost price× (100+P%/100)

Selling price= 5500× (100+10/100)

Selling price= 5500×110/100

Selling price= 6050

Answer: The selling price of the almirah is Rs. 6050.
