Answer / vikram

let the selling price be 100 rs..

less 25% discount gives 75 rs...

and he gets 25% in 75(75*25= 18.75)..

So the cp is 56.25......

if sells for 100 less 10 % gives us 90 rs..

so sp-cp(90-56.25) = 33.75( 90*x/100=33.75)
x = 37.5


the answer is 37.5%...

Answer / vikram

suppose if we consider 100rs as selling price
and seller gives 25% discount so the amount will be 75 on
which he earns 25% profit i.e., 18.75rs.

therefore the cost price is 75 - 18.75 = 56.75rs.

so, if now he gives 10% discount then he sells the product
at 90rs. so his profit portion is (90 - 56-75) = 33.25rs
i.e., 37.50 %

Answer / mohan

Let capital be 125(Manufacturing price + profit)

Manufacturing price (MP): 100

With Profit 25% (MP + profit) = 125

Selling price (SP) = 125 + (25 * 125/100) = 125 + 31
(approx) = 156

After discount of 10% on SP profit will be

156 - 156 * 10/100 = 140 (approx)

profit = SP - MP

140 - 100 = 40 ( i.e., 40%)

Answer / nagraj

Consider the rate of item as 'x'
then discount of 25%= (75*x)/100=3*x/4

Now 3x/4 is the sold price.
but he will get a profit of 25% so
the cost price is(y) => (125%y)/100=3x/4
=> y =3x/5

Now he sell at 10% discount then cost price = 90*x/100=9x/10

Hence the % profit= (9x/10-3x/50)/(3x/5)
=50%
For example: 200 rp item. 25% discount means
75% of 200 is 150
so now 125% of actual cost price=150
so actual rate is=120
now 10% 200 is 20 rp so sold price=180
now (180-120)*100/120=50%

Answer / amit jain

Lets Assume the selling price is 100
After 25% discount, the selling price is 75
when sold in 75, the profit % is 25
So the net profit is 75*25/100=18.75
so the cost price is 75-18.75 = 56.25

Now when 10% discount is given, the selling price is 90
cost price from above is 56.25
profit is 90 - 56.25 = 33.75
profit % is 56.25*X/100 = 33.75
X = 33.75*100/56.25
X= 60%

So the net profit is 60% when sold in 10% discount

Mr. Beans visited a magic shop and bought some magical marbles of different colours along with other magical items. While returning home whenever he saw a coloured light, he took out marbles of similar colours and counted them. So he counted the pink coloured marbles and found that he has bought 25 of them. Then he counted 14 green marbles and then 21 yellow marbles. He later counted 30 purple coloured marbles with him. But when he reached a crossing, he looked at a red light and started counting red marbles and found that he had bought 23 Red marbles. As soon as he finished counting, it started raining heavily and by the time he reached home he was drenched.

So how many white marbles must be choose and give to his wife so as to ensure that there is atleast one pair of red, yellow and green marbles ?
