questions.

30
8. R sales in July = 100 = 85.71
35
9. Total sales of P = 30 + 30 + 30 + 40 + 50 +
60 + 60 + 60 = 360
Total sales of R = 5 + 15 + 25 + 30 + 35 +
35 + 30 + 10 = 185
Required ratio = 360 : 185 = 72 : 37
11. Let C's money be 100, then
Bs money will be 75 and A's will be 125%
of 75 = 93.75
Ratio = 93.75 : 75 : 100 = 15 : 12 : 16
16
C's share = 95030
15 + 12 + 16

Shortcut (Allegation method):


1st article
2nd article
8% (profit)
2%( loss)

= Rs.35,360
12. Average Marks =
(1 50) + (1 65) + (1 45) + (2 80)

1+1+1+2

320

= = 64

13. Total of 15 numbers = 15 32 = 480
Total of first 8 numbers = 8 41 = 328
Total of last 8 numbers = 8 25 = 200
Total of 16 numbers = 328 + 200 = 528
But there are only 15 numbers. 8th number
has come twice.
8th number = 528 480 = 48
Shortcut:
Middle number (8th)
= 32 + [8 (41 32) + 8 (25 32)]

32 + (72 56)
= 48
14. Let the cost price of second article be Rs.x
8% of (700 x) 2% of x
= 4% of 700

x = Rs.280

4% (overall profit)

Ratio between 1st and 2nd article = 6 : 4 = 3 : 2

Cost price of 2nd article = 700 = 280

15. 4 6 5 2 8 1 4 7 4 3 6
4 + 6 + 5 + 2 + 8 + 1 + 4 + 7 + 4 + 3 + 6 = 50
