Thank you Insomniac and Bedanshu .

Answers & Explanation;

1. a
2. b
3. c
4. e  (8.189 approx. )
5. a
6. b
7. e (Either Rs 40 or Rs 60)
8. d
9. e (Rs. 3.60)
10. c

Explanation:

1.Total Number of printers = 5 (2 sold , 3 unsold)
Monitors = 20.
Profit made on Printers sold = 2000*2 = 4000.
Monitors sold = 20*75% = 15
Profit made on Monitors sold = 49000-4000 = Rs.45000.
Profit made per monitor = 45000/15 = 3000.
20% of CP of Monitor = 3000
CP of Monitor = 15000.
CP of Printer = 7500
Total CP = 15000*20 + 7500*5 = 3,37,500
Total SP = 18000*15 + 9500*2 = 2,89,000
Loss = 48,500 

2. Total investement = Rs. 4725
Total SP = 1.4*4725 = 6615
Now, Let the price of 4 seater be x then price of two seater will be .75x.
8x + 22*0.75x = 6615
24.5x= 6615 or x = 270

3.  Total number of Microwave ovens = 15 (12 sold +3 unsold)
Hence, Washing machines = 10
He sold 12 ovens and 8 washing machines
Hence, In total he sold 80% of both
Thus, He sells 80% of both at a profit of Rs. 40,000.
Cost of 80% of the goods = 0.8*2,05,000 = 1,64,000
Hence, Total SP = 1,64,000+40,000 = 2,04,000
CP = 2,05,000
Loss = Rs.1000

4. After 2 years :-
Flat would be worth = 2Lakh* 1.2*1.2 = Rs. 288000
Land would be worth= 2.2Lakh*1.1*1.1 = Rs. 266200
Profit of the Gainer = Rs. 21800
Profit % of the gainer = 21800*100/266200= 8.189(approx)
Also if loss% woudd have been asked of the loser
loss% = 21800*100/288000 = 7.56 (approx. )

5. Let SP be Rs. 100
CP for Sunil = => (SP-CP)*100/SP = 50
CP for Sunil ==> (100-CP)*100/100 = 50 or CP = Rs. 50
(Divided by SP as Profit calculated on SP)
Profit for Sunil = 100-50 = Rs 50
Now, CP for Sujeet = (SP-CP)*100/CP = 40
(100-CP)*100= 40CP or CP for Sujeet= Rs. 1000/14
Profit for Sujeet = 100-100/14 = 400/14
Now, Difference in profit when SP is 100 = 50-400/14 = 300/14.
Now, Equating difference and SP, we have
300/14 : 100 : : 900 : SP
SP = 900*100*14/300 = Rs. 4200

6 . Let originally he buy X kg for Rs. 180
Now, he will buy X+2 kg for Rs. 180.
Reduction in original price =10%
(180/X)/kg*90/100 = [180/(X+2)]/kg
90(X+2) = 100X
X = 18
Therefore, Originally he bought 18kg.
Original Price = Rs. 10/kg
Reduced Price = Rs. 9/kg

7. SP = Rs. 24
Let CP be X hence, Loss% = X
(X-SP)*100/X = X or (X-24)*100/X = X
X^2-100X+2400 = 0
(X-60)(X-40) = 0
X= 60 or 40

8. Let CP of one be X and other be Y
X+Y = 1550….(i)
ATQ:-
0.77X + 1.27Y = 1550…(ii) (as no profit and no loss is there)
Solving both, we get
50Y = 35650 or Y = 713
Hence, X = 1550-713 = 837
Therefore, CP of each horse = 837,713

9. Let the CP be Rs. x/ orange
Profit = 20%
SP = Rs. 1.20x
Now, If case :-
SP =x+ Rs.1.2
Profit = 40%
Therefore, we can say
1.40x = x+1.2 or x = Rs. 3
Hence, Original SP = Rs 1.2x = Rs. 3.60/-

10. Profit= 5% (If case )
5% of CP ------> Rs. 27
So, CP = Rs. 540
Now, Loss% = 10
Loss =Rs. 54
Required % = 54*100/27 = 200%
