Question

Fill in the blanks in each of the following:
(i) C.P. = Rs 1265, S.P. = Rs 1253, Loss = Rs .....
(ii) C.P. = Rs ...., S.P. = Rs 450, Profit = Rs 150
(iii) C.P. = Rs 3355, S.P. = Rs 7355, .... = Rs ....
(iv) C.P. = Rs ...., S.P. = Rs 2390, Loss = Rs 5.50

Answer 1

(i) CP = Rs. 1265, SP = Rs. 1253
Loss = CP - SP = Rs. (1265 - 1253) = Rs. 12

(ii) CP = ?, SP = Rs. 450, profit = Rs. 150
Profit = SP - CP
⇒ Rs. 150 = Rs. 450 - CP
⇒ CP = Rs. (450 - 150) = Rs. 300

(iii) CP = Rs. 3355, SP = Rs. 7355,
Here SP > CP, so profit.
Profit = SP - CP
⇒ Profit = Rs. (7355 - 3355) = Rs. 4000

(iv) CP = ?, SP = Rs. 2390, loss = Rs. 5.50
Loss = CP - SP
⇒ Rs. 5.50 = CP - Rs. 2390
⇒ CP = Rs. (5.50 + 2390) = Rs. 2395.50
