Question
The cost of an item is 'A'. A
shopkeeper increases the price by 'x'%, then applies a discount of 'd'% on the increased price. After applying the discount, the final price returns to 'A'. If 'd' represents the difference between 'x' and 'd', determine the value of 'x'. I) 50 II) 100 III) 200Solution
ATQ, Given x% of CP = d% of MP I.e. x% of 'A' = d% of MP --- (1) Also Given, d = d-x, then x = 0 which is [not possible as A < MP and not A = MP] So, d = x-d x = 2d & d = x/2 Now from options check in which option overall change is 0, i.e. CP= SP & x - d -xd/100 = 0 Option I: x= 50 then d= 25 Here, x - d -xd/100 = 50-25-[50×25]/100 = 12.5 So here CP is not equal to SP & x - d -xd/100 is not equal to 0. Option II: x= 100 then d= 50 Here, x - d -xd/100 = 100-50-[50×100]/100 = 0 So option II is the correct option
- The total and the difference of L.C.M and H.C.F of two numbers are 432 and 96. If one of the numbers is 24, what is the other number?
LCM of two numbers is 12 times their HCF. The product of the numbers is 25920. What will be the maximum possible difference between the numbers?
HCF of two numbers 65 and 104 can be expressed in the form of (40m – 107) whereas LCM of these two numbers can be expressed in the form of (60n – 20...
The H.C.F. of two numbers is 14 and the other two factors of their L.C.M. are 5 and 11. The larger of the two numbers is:
The LCM of the two numbers is 12 times their HCF. The sum of LCM and HCF is 429 and if both the number are smaller than their LCM. Find both numbers.
LCM and HCF of the two numbers are 225 and 15 respectively. One of the numbers is 45, then find the second number.
The smallest number which when divided by 25 and 30 leaves remainder 10 and 15 respectively is:
- The sum of HCF and LCM of two numbers is 765. The LCM is 84 times the HCF. If one of the numbers is 85, what is the other number? (find approximate value)
