= 28800 Rs
Therefore, his monthly income will be Rs 28800.
Question no – (5)
Solution :
Let the number be = x
∴ Given, x × 54/100 – x × 26/100 = 22526
= x/100 {54 – 26} = 22526
= x × 28 = 22526 × 100
= x = 22526/28 × 100
= 804500
Therefore, 66% of that number will be 804500
Question no – (6)
Solution :
Let the number be x
∴ Given, x – 125 = x × 37.5%
= x – 125 = x × 375/1000
= x – 375x/1000 = 125
= 1000x – 375x/1000 = 125
= 625x = 125000
= x = 125000/625
∴ 25% of 200
= 200 × 25/100
= 50
Thus, 25 percent of this number will be 50
Question no – (8)
Solution :
Let the price of article is 100 rupees
∴ 25% of 100
= 125/100 × 100
= 125
∴ 20% of 125
= 120/100 × 125
= 150
Price increase,
= (150 – 100)
= 50 rupees
∴ Total percent increase,
= (150 – 125/50 × 100)%
= (25/50 × 100)%
= 50%
Therefore, the total percent increase is 50%

= 60
25% unskilled workers
= 100 × 25/100
= 60
20% of unskilled workers are permanent
= 25 × 20/100
= 5
∴ 65 are permanent
∴ 35 are temporary
Let the total number of workers is x
∴ x × 35/100 = 126
= x = 126 × 100/35
= 360
Therefore, Total number of workers are 360

= 100/96 × 960
= 1000 Rs
Therefore, the cost price of the article will be 1000 Rs.
Question no – (3)
Solution :
Let selling price = 100 Rs
∴ C.P = 80/100 × 100
= 80 Rs
∴ Profit %
= (100 – 80/80 × 100)%
= (20/80 × 100)%
= 25%
Therefore, the profit percent will be 25%
Question no – (4)
Solution :
As per the question,
100 orange bought for = 350

∴ Profit,
= 1100 – 10000/11
= 12100 – 10000/11
= 2100/11
∴ Profit (%),
= (2100/11 × 11/1000 × 10 × 100)%
= 21%
Question no – (7)
Solution :
Let the cost price of the article = x
∴ Given that,
x × 80/100 + 650 = x × 120/100
= 8x/10 + 60 = 12x/10
= 12x/10 – 8x/10 = 60
= 4x/10 = 60

= 150000
C.P of jeep sold 20% gain
= 100/120 × 120000
= 100000
∴ Total Cost Price,
= (150000 + 100000)
= 250000
Total Selling Price,
= (120000 + 120000)
= 240000
∴ Since C.P > S.P there is a loss
∴ Loss = 25000 – 240000
= 10,000 Rs.
Hence, the overall loss will be 10,000 Rs.
Question no – (10)
Solution :
Let the C.P and S.P are 20x and 21x
∴ Profit
= (21x – 20x)

= (1500/13 × 130/100)
= 150 rupees
Therefore, the article must be sold at 150 rupees
Question no – (13)
Solution :
Profit = selling price of 15 articles
∴ C.P = selling price of,
= (60 – 15)
= 45 articles
∴ Gain percentage,
= (15/45 × 100) %
= 100/3
= 33 1/3%
Therefore, his gain percentage will be 33 1/3%
Question no – (14)
Solution :
Let the cost price of gain watch = x
∴ The cost price of loss watch = (850 – x)
∴ 16% gain = 116/100 × x = 116x/100
12% loss = 88/100 (840 – x)
= 88 × 840/100 – 88x/100
Given there is no profit or no gain
∴ 116x/100 + 88 × 840/100 – 88x/100 = 840
= 28x/100 + 88 × 840/100 = 840
= 28x + 88 × 840 = 84000
= 28x = 84000 – 88 × 840
= x = 84000/28 – 88 × 840/28
= 3000 – 2640
= 360
Therefore, the cost price of the watch will be Rs 360.

= 56%
Therefore, his total gain percent will be 56%
Question no – (17)
Solution :
Profit of 10%
= 10000 × 110/100
= 11000 Rs
Loss of 10%
= 10000 × 90/100
= 9000 Rs
∴ Total selling Price,
= (11000 + 9000)
= 20000 Rs
∴ Total cost Price,
= (10000 + 10000)
= 20000 Rs
∴ There is neither profit nor loss.

∴ I = 475 × 7/3 × 9/2/100
= 475 × 7 × 9/26 × 100
= 399/8
= 49.875
∴ Simple Interest (S.I) = Rs 49.875
∴ Amount = (475 + 49.875)
= Rs 524.875
(d) 20 months = 20/12 year = 5/3
∴ I = 1900 × 5/3 × 6/100
= 190
∴ Simple Interest (S.I) = Rs 190
∴ Amount = (1900 + 190)
= Rs 2090
(e) April = 25, may – 31, Jun – 24
∴ time = 25 + 31 + 24/365 year
= 80/365 year
I = 7300 × 80/365 × 5/100
= 80
∴ Simple Interest (S.I) = Rs 80
∴ Amount = (7300 + 80)
= Rs 7380

∴ Amount = (256 + 16)
= 272 Rs
For 2nd, 1/2 year,
P = 272,
r = 25/2,
t = 1/2
I = 272 × 25/2 × 1/2/100
= 17 Rs

= 289 Rs
∴ C.I. = (289 – 256)
= 33 Rs
Hence, the compound interest will be 33 Rs.
Question no – (8)
Solution :
Compound interest half-yearly
R = 10/2 % = 5%,
T = 1 1/2 year = 3 half years

Solution :
Compounded half-yearly
r = 12.5/20 1 1/2 year = 3 year halfly
∴ Amount,
= 8192 (1 + 125/20 × 100)3
= 8192 (1 + 1/16)3
= 8192 × 17/16 × 17/16 × 17/16
= 9826 Rs
Therefore, the amount that Anirudh had to pay will be Rs. 9826
Question no – (10)
Solution :
P = 80,000, t = 3, R1 = 4%, R2 = 5%, R3 = 10%
A = P(1 + R1/100) (1 + R2/100) (1 + R3/100)
= 80,000 (1 + 4/100) (1 + 5/100) (1 + 10/100)
= 80,000 × 104/100 × 105/100 × 110/100
