2. The cost price of 20 articles is the same as the selling price of x articles. If the profit is 25%, then the value of x is:
A. 15
B. 16
C. 18
D. 25

सही उत्तर: [B]

हल (Solution):
Let C.P. of each article be Re. 1 C.P. of x articles = Rs. x.

S.P. of x articles = Rs. 20.

Profit = Rs. (20 - x).

=> (20-x/x*100=25)

2000 - 100x = 25x

125x = 2000

x = 16.
3. If selling price is doubled, the profit triples. Find the profit percent.
A. 66 2/3
B. 100
C. 105 1/3
D. 120

सही उत्तर: [B]

हल (Solution):
Let C.P. be Rs. x and S.P. be Rs. y.

Then, 3(y - x) = (2y - x) y = 2x.

Profit = Rs. (y - x) = Rs. (2x - x) = Rs. x.

Profit % = x x 100 % = 100%
