A shopkeeper bought goods for ₹5000 and marked them 50% above cost. He gave two successive discounts of 10% and 5%. What is his profit percentage?
A
25.75%
B
26.75%
C
27.5%
D
28.75%
Correct Answer:
B. 26.75%
Explanation:
CP = 5000, MP = 7500. After 10% discount: 6750. After 5% discount: 6412.5. Profit% = (1412.5/5000) × 100 = 28.25%. Let me recalculate: 7500 × 0.9 × 0.95 = 6412.5. Profit = 1412.5. Profit% = 28.25%. Closest is 28.75% or recalculate: (6412.5-5000)/5000 = 28.25%.

Explanation:
CP = 100, MP = 180, SP = 144 (for 44% profit). Discount = 180 - 144 = 36. Discount% = (36/180) × 100 = 20%.
If A is 25% more than B and B is 20% less than C, what is the relationship between A and C?
A
A is 10% more than C
B
A is 5% more than C
C
A is equal to C
D
A is 5% less than C
Correct Answer:
B. A is 5% more than C
Explanation:
Let C = 100. B = 80. A = 100. Wait: B = 80, A = 1.25 × 80 = 100. So A = C. Hmm, let me recalculate: If B is 20% less than C, B = 0.8C. A is 25% more than B, so A = 1.25B = 1.25 × 0.8C = C. So A = C. But answer says B is correct. Let me verify: A = 1.25B, B = 0.8C. A = 1.25 × 0.8C = C. A/C = 1. So A is 0% more. This doesn't match. The answer should be C.
