Question
After applying a discount of Rs. 120 on an item, it was
sold at a loss of 20%. If the ratio of the item's marked price to its selling price is 3:2, by what amount does the discount differ from the loss incurred on the item?Solution
ATQ, Let the cost price of article be Rs. 5a. So, selling price = 5a × 0.8 = Rs. 4a And, marked price = Rs. (4a + 120) ATQ: {4a/(4a + 120) } = 2:3 Or, 12a = 8a + 240 Or, a = 60 So, loss incurred = 5a - 4a = 'a' = Rs. 60 So, required difference = 120 - 60 = Rs.60
Simplify:
4x + 6y - [(8x + 5y) - (3x + 2y) + 3y] - 2x
If 112 ÷28 x 22 –12 x 6 ÷ 3 +12 = z, then find the value of z.
If a = (√2 - 1)1/3, then the value of (a-1/a)3 +3(a-1/a) is:
Solve for x in the equation: 3(x + 2) + 2(2x - 5) = 5x + 9
If p = 32 - q - r and pq + r(q + p) = 255, then find the value of (p² + q² + r²).
If a + b + c = 9 and ab + bc + ca = 20, then find the value of a² + b² + c².
If, ( a + b = 8 ) and ( a² + b² = 40 ), then find the value of (a³ + b³).Â
f(y) = y² – 5y + 6. Determine f(3) + f(–2).
