A shopkeeper sells an item at 20% profit. If he had sold it at 25% profit, he would have earned Rs. 50 more. What is the cost price of the item?
A Rs. 1000 B Rs. 950 C Rs. 1050 D Rs. 900
Let CP = x. At 20% profit, SP = 1.2x. At 25% profit, SP = 1.25x. Difference = 1.25x - 1.2x = 0.05x = 50. Therefore, x = 1000.
If 3x + 4y = 18 and 2x - y = 4, what is the value of x?
A 2 B 3 C 4 D 5
From equation 2: y = 2x - 4. Substitute in equation 1: 3x + 4(2x - 4) = 18. 3x + 8x - 16 = 18. 11x = 34. x = 2 (approximately checking: 6 + 4(0) ≠ 18, so y = 0, x = 2).
A number is divided into two parts such that one part is 4 times the other. If the smaller part is 12, what is the whole number?
A 60 B 48 C 36 D 72
Smaller part = 12. Larger part = 4 × 12 = 48. Whole number = 12 + 48 = 60.
What is the simple interest on Rs. 8000 at 8% per annum for 3 years?
A Rs. 1920 B Rs. 2000 C Rs. 1800 D Rs. 2100
SI = (P × R × T)/100 = (8000 × 8 × 3)/100 = 100 192000
The average of 5 numbers is 24. If one number is replaced by 48, the new average becomes 30. Which number was replaced?
A 12 B 18 C 24 D 6
Sum of 5 numbers = 5 × 24 = 120. New sum = 5 × 30 = 150. Difference = 150 - 120 = 30. Replaced number = 48 - 30 = 18.
If 40% of a number is 96, what is 65% of that number?
A 156 B 168 C 174 D 182
Let number = x. 0.4x = 96. x = 240. 65% of 240 = 0.65 × 240 = 156.
A train travels 240 km in 4 hours. If it increases its speed by 25%, how long will it take to cover the same distance?

Original speed = 4 240 75 240
If the cost price of 15 articles equals the selling price of 12 articles, what is the profit percentage?
A 20% B 25% C 30% D 15%
Let CP = x. Then 15x = 12 × SP, so SP = 1.25x. Profit% = (SP - CP)/CP × 100 = (1.25x - x)/x × 100 = 25%
Three numbers are in the ratio 2:3:5. If their sum is 150, find the largest number.
A 50 B 75 C 60 D 90
Let numbers be 2x, 3x, 5x. Sum = 2x + 3x + 5x = 10x = 150. So x = 15. Largest number = 5x = 75
