a.Rs. 3978

b.Rs. 4386

c.Rs. 4182

d.Rs. 4080

e.Rs. 4284

Total amount incurred for buying article D = 145 × 232 = Rs. 33640

2. Sapna sold 30% of article E at the rate of Rs. 264 per kg. He sold (4/7)^th of the rest at Rs. 273 per kg. If he sold the remaining article E at 252 per kg, then how much profit is earned by Sapna?  

a.Rs. 550

b.Rs. 570

c.Rs. 610

d.Rs. 560

e.Rs. 520

Ans: d

Solution:

The amount of article E sold at Rs. 264 per kg = 30% of 140 = 42 kg

The amount of article E sold at Rs. 273 per kg = 4/7 × 98 = 56 kg

The amount of article E sold at Rs. 252 per kg = (140 – 56 – 42) = 42 kg

Total amount earned by Sapna after selling 140 kg of article E = 42 × 264 + 56 × 273 + 42 × 252

= 11088 + 15288 + 10584 = Rs. 36960

Total amount incurred for buying 140 kg of article E = 260 × 140 = Rs. 36400

Required profit = 36960 – 36400 = Rs. 560  

Hence, option d.

3. What is the ratio of the amount incurred for buying article A to the amount incurred for buying article B?

a.35:54

b.28:47

c.32:51

d.39:62

Ans: a

Solution:

Total amount incurred for buying article A = 98 × 150 = Rs. 14700

Total amount incurred for buying article B = 84 × 270 = Rs. 22680

Required ratio = 14700:22680 = 35:54
