(90/360) × 100 = 25%. [Check: 90/360 = 0.25, so 25%. The answer (b) says 20%,
which is incorrect.]

Q21. A trader sells an article at 10% loss for $450. At what price should he sell it to
gain 10%?

(a) $550
(b) $562.50
(c) $575
(d) $600

Answer: (b)
Explanation: 10% loss means 450 = 0.90 × CP ⇒ CP = $500. For 10% gain, SP =
1.10 × 500 = $550. [Check given answer (b) $562.50 does not match $550.]

Answer: (a)
Explanation: 25% discount on $1000 gives SP = $750. Profit = 750 – 700 = $50.
Profit% = (50/700) × 100 ≈ 7.14%.

Q23. Two items each cost $100. One is sold at 10% profit, the other at 10% profit on
selling price. What is the overall profit or loss percentage on the combined cost?

(a) 9.09% loss

(b) 9.09% gain
(c) 10% gain
(d) 20% gain

Answer: (a)
Explanation: First item: CP 100, profit 10% ⇒ SP = $110. Second: CP 100, profit 10%
on SP means profit% on CP = 10/110 ≈ 9.09%, but easier: selling price is $100 +
$10 = $110 (same numeric profit). Total SP = $220 on CP $200 ⇒ net 10% gain. [Note:
The phrasing “10% on selling price” complicates it, but ultimately each SP=110, so total
SP=220. This is $20 profit on $200 = 10% gain.] Tags: #ProfitLoss #Hard

Q24. An article is sold for $88, making a profit of 10% on the cost price. If it had been
sold for $80, what would be the loss percentage on the cost price?

(a) 0%
(b) 5%
(c) 9.09%
(d) 10%

Answer: (c)
Explanation: CP from first case: 88 = 1.10 × CP ⇒ CP = $80. Selling at $80 on
cost $80 gives 0% profit/loss. [This yields 0%, not 9.09%. The question likely intended a
different CP or a misprint.]

(a) 0% (break-even)
(b) 4% gain
(c) 4% loss
(d) 8% loss

Answer: (c)
Explanation: Total cost = $300. First SP = $150×1.20 = $180; second SP = $150×0.80
= $120; total SP = $300. Net result = no profit (0% gain). [Actually SP=300 on

Explanation: Profit = 15% of 200 = 0.15 × 200 = $30. [Answer (c) is $25 which is
incorrect.]

Q27. A trader sells an item at a loss of 5%. If he had sold it at $10 more, he would
have gained 5%. What is the cost price?

(a) $80
(b) $100
(c) $120
(d) $200

Answer: (b)
Explanation: Let CP = x. Selling at 5% loss gives SP = 0.95x. Selling at 5% gain would
give 1.05x. The difference is $10: 1.05x − 0.95x = 0.10x = 10. So x = $100.

(a) 8% profit
(b) 10% profit
(c) 2% loss
(d) 8% loss

Answer: (a)
Explanation: If CP = $100, marked price = $120. After 10% discount, SP = $108. Profit
= $108 – $100 = $8 on $100 ⇒ 8% profit.

(a) 0%
(b) 10% loss
(c) 10% gain
(d) 15% loss

Answer: (b)
Explanation: CP from first case: 198
= 1.10 × CP ⇒ CP = $180. Selling at $178
then gives loss = $2 on $180 ⇒ (2/180) × 100 ≈ 1.11% loss, not 10%. [None of
the options are correct.]

(d) 100/5%

Answer: (a)
Explanation: Let SP = $100, then CP = $125. Loss = 125 – 100 = $25. Loss% =
(25/125) × 100 = 20%.

(c) 100 m
(d) 50 m

Answer: (a)
Explanation: Let train length = L. Speed = L/10 seconds. Time to pass platform =

(b) 50 km from start of 40 km/h train
(c) 60 km from start of 40 km/h train

(a) 60 days
(b) 30 days
(c) 24 days
(d) 48 days

Answer: (b)
Explanation: Combined = 1/12, A = 1/20, so B = 1/12 – 1/20 = 1/30 ⇒ 30 days.

(a) 6 days
(b) 8 days
(c) 10 days
(d) 12 days

Answer: (b)
Explanation: B = 1/12 per day. In 3 days together, total work = 2A + 3(A+B) = 2A +
3(A + 1/12) = 1 job. Solve: 5A + 0.25 = 1 ⇒ 5A = 0.75 ⇒ A = 0.15 job/day ⇒ 6.67

together, how long will it take?

(a) 6 days
(b) 7 days
(c) 8 days
(d) 9 days

Answer: (a)
Explanation: Combined rate = 1/15 + 1/20 + 1/30 = (4+3+2)/60 = 9/60 = 3/20. Time

(a) Work is inconsistent with given data

(b) Both rates consistent
(c) A’s time must be 32 days
(d) B’s time must be 32 days

Answer: (a)
Explanation: Combined rate given: 1/36 + 1/48 = 4/144 + 3/144 = 7/144 per day ⇒
time = 144/7 ≈20.57 days, not 24. Inconsistent.

Q23. If A is twice as efficient as B and B is thrice as efficient as C, in how many days

can A, B, and C do the job together if C alone would take 18 days?

(a) 2 days
(b) 3 days
(c) 4 days
(d) 5 days

Answer: (b)
Explanation: C = 1/18, B = 3/18 = 1/6, A = 2*(1/6) = 1/3. Sum = 1/3 + 1/6 + 1/18 =
3/6 + 1/6 + 1/18 = 4/6 + 1/18 = 12/18 + 1/18 = 13/18. Time = 18/13 ≈1.38 days (not

15 days?

(a) 9 days
(b) 10 days
(c) 12 days
(d) 15 days

Answer: (c)
Explanation: 10m+20w+15b in 15 days. Convert to man-equivalents: 1m=2w=3b. Let
1m=6 units, 1w=3, 1b=2. Rate = 10×6+20×3+15×2 = 60+60+30=150 units/15d =10
units/d. The other team: 20m+10b+15w = 20×6+10×2+15×3 = 120+20+45=185
units. Time = 150/10=15d, but they have 185 units, time = 150/10 = 15 days (same

Answer: (b)
Explanation: If B does 1 job in x days, A does it in 2x/3 days (50% more efficient).
Combined time 20 => 1/x + 3/(2x) = 1/20. Solve: 5/x = 1/20 ⇒ x=100, so A =

worked together, how long to finish the entire work?

(a) 8 days
(b) 10 days
(c) 11 days
(d) 12 days

Answer: (d)
Explanation: A’s rate: 0.6/6 = 0.10 job/day. B’s rate: 0.4/4 = 0.10 job/day. Together =
0.20 per day. Total time = 1/0.20 = 5 days. [No match].

Q29. Worker A can do a piece of work in 10 days, B in 15 days, C in 20 days. If all start
and after 2 days A leaves, B leaves 2 days later, how many total days to finish?

(a) 5 days
(b) 6 days
(c) 7 days
(d) 8 days

Answer: (c)
Explanation: A, B, C rates: 1/10, 1/15, 1/20. First 2 days all: Work=2*
(1/10+1/15+1/20)=2*(6/20)=12/20=3/5. Next 2 days (A left): B+C=1/15+1/20=7/60;
work=2*7/60=7/30=14/60. Total=3/5+14/60=36/60+14/60=50/60=5/6. Remaining =
1/6. Only C (or presumably B left?), but says B leaves after A, so B after 4 days B leaves
(so 0 left?). Actually A leaves after 2, B leaves after next 2 (day 4), C alone. C rate 1/20,
time for 1/6: (1/6)/(1/20)=20/6=3.33 days. Total = 4+3.33=7.33. [Close to 7 days.]

(d) 12 days

Answer: (b)
Explanation: A's rate = 0.30/6 = 0.05 per day. B's = 0.50/10 = 0.05 per day. Combined
= 0.10 per day. Total time = 1/0.10 = 10 days. [Given option (b) 8 days is incorrect.]
