The cash difference between selling price of an article at a profit of 4% and 6% is Rs. 3. Then, what is the ratio of two selling prices ?
-
Solution
Let cost price is Rs. x.
Given 106% of x – 104% of x = 3 Rs.
⇒ 2% of x = 3
⇒ x =

Ratio = 156 : 159 = 52 : 53
A man gains 20% by selling an article for a certain price. If he sells it at double price, what would be the profit percent ?
-
Solution
Let C.P. = 100 Rs.
Profit = 20% = 20 Rs.
S.P. = 100 + 20 = 120 Rs.
If S.P. double then new S.P. = 240 Rs.
New profit = 240 – 100 = 140 Rs.
Profit % =

Profit on one = 20%
and loss on other = 12% ⇒ So, C.P. =
Total C.P. = 984.84 Rs.
