A. Rs 28
B. Rs 15

S.P. of 14 apples should be (100 + 50/3)/100 * 180 = 210
By selling an item at 7/10th of the actual selling price, a trader makes a profit of 20%. If he sells the product at 20% less than the actual selling price, then what will be the profit or loss %?
A. 30%
B. 20%
C. 37 1/7%
D. 33 1/3%
C. 37 1/7%
Explanation:
C.P. S.P.
Profit is 20%. So,
(7/10 S.P. – C.P.)/C.P. * 100 = 20
This gives S.P. = 12/7 C.P.
Now product sold at 20% less S.P. i.e. 80/100 or 4/5 of S.P.
Profit/loss% = (4/5 S.P. – C.P.)/C.P. * 100
Put S.P. = 12/7 C.P. and find the final answer

Explanation :
Cp = x
Sp = x+(x2/100) = 85.25
x2+100x-8525 = 0
(x+155)(x-55) = 0
X = 55
Now sp = 55+(55×110)/100 = 55+60.50 =115.5

A)13.34%
B)16.65%
C)16.43%
D)17.5%
Answer – B)16.65%

Profit = 2x
P:d = 5:3
(5x×300)/100 +(3x×500)/100 = 100
30x = 100
X =(100/30) = 3.33%=> 5x = 16.65%

D)5.6%
Answer – A)6.2%
Explanation :
Cp = Rs.1 per gram
1000gms =>10% less = 900gms—–vales of good sold – x%
MP = 1000+(1000X/100) = 1000+10X
% P = [(1000+10X-900)/900]×100
18 =(100+10x)/9
162 = 100+10x
10x = 62
X = 6.2%
