x = 2000 Let First Discount = D1 %
25) Ans: B By question,
Discount % = (70-56)/70 × 100 100 − D1 100 − D2
500 × ( )( ) = 180

100 − D1 100 − 10
26) Ans: B ⇒ 500 ( )×( ) = 180
100 100
Let, Marked price of mobile phone = x 180 × 100 × 100
⇒ (100 − D1 ) =
500 × 90
Cost price = x × 50/100 = x/2 ⇒ (100 − D1 ) = 40
∴ Selling price = [(100+35)/100] × x/2 D1 = 100 − 40 = 60%
40500 = 135/100 × x/2 So, First Discount = 60%
x = (40500 × 100 × 2)/135 30) Ans: B
= Rs.60000 Cost price of bicycle = 2000 × 90/100 × 85/100 =
27) Ans: B Rs.1530

MP × [(100 - discount%)/100] = SP 31) Ans: A
MP × 40/100 = 400 Let, Cost price = Rs.100
MP = (400 × 100)/40 ∴ Marked price = Rs. 140
MP = 1000 Selling price on 20% Profit = Rs. 120
CP = SP × 100/(100+25) ∴ Discount % = 20/140 × 100 = 14.29%
CP = 400×100/125 32) Ans: B
CP = 320 Selling price after 20% Discount = 640 × (100 –
Profit = 1000 - 320 = 680 20)/100 = (640 × 80)/100 = Rs.512
Profit % = 680/320 × 100 = 212.5%
Page 12 of 15
Thus, the cost of the item for 25% Profit = Difference = 20000 – 18500 = Rs.1500
[512/(100 + 25)] × 100 = 512/125 × 100 = 38) Ans: C
Rs.409.60 Marked price = 5445×100/(100-10)

Selling price after 20% Discount = Total cost = 765 + 35 = 800
125×80/100=100 Selling price = 1000
