      Answer : 3) Rs 24
      Solution : Cost Price of 5 kg = Rs.(14 * 2 + x * 3) = (28 + 3x).
      Sell price of 5 kg = Rs. (22 x 5) = Rs. 110.
      (110 - (28 + 3x)/(28 + 3x)) * 100 = 82 - 3x/28 + 3x = 1 / 10
      820 - 30x = 28 + 3x
      => 33x = 792
      => x = 24

      Then, 2x + y = 7000 and 2y + x = 9800.
      Multiplying 2nd equatien by 2 and subtracting first from it, we get
      3y = 19600 - 7000 = 12600 or y = 4200 C.P. of a player = Rs. 4200

    • ( 6 ) The ratio of cost price of two articles was 2:3, by selling getting the gain 10% and 20% then what is the percentage of gain

    • 1) 16%
    • 2) 12%
    • 3) 6%
    • 4) 30%
    • Discussion in forum
      Answer : 1) 16%
      Solution : 2 : 3 = 2x : 3x
      10 % of 2x = 10/100 * 2x = x/5
      20 % of 3x = 20/100 * 3x = 3x/5
      x/5 + 3x/5 = (x + 3x)/5
      => 4x/5
      = (4x/5)/5x * 100 = 4x/25x * 100 = 16%
      Short cut method:
      2 : 3
      200 : 300
      in 200 = 10% ---> 20
      in 300 = 20% ---> 60
      20 + 60 = 80 % gain
      = 80/500 * 100 = 16%
