• C. Wooden 6786, ${13}^{\prime }$ loss 7812 shelf
• D. Tea set 1526, $9\%$ gain 1400

Answer 1

The correct option is C Wooden 6786, ${13}^{\prime }$ loss 7812 shelf

(A) S.P. = Rs 96, C.P.= Rs.80

$\therefore$ Profit $\%=(\frac{S.P.-C.P.}{C.P.}\times 100)$

$=(\frac{96-80}{80}\times 100)=(\frac{16}{80}\times 100)=20\%$

(B) S.P.= Rs.7000, C.P. =Rs.8000

$\therefore$ Loss $\%=(\frac{8000-7000}{8000}\times 100)$

$=\left(\frac{1000\times 100}{8000}\right)=12\frac{1}{2}\%$

(C) S.P = Rs.6786, C.P.= RS. 7812

$\therefore$ Loss $\%=(\frac{7812-6786}{7812}\times 100)$

$(\frac{1026}{7812}\times 100)=13\frac{29}{217}\%$

(D) S.P=Rs.1526, C.P= Rs.1400

$\therefore$ Profit $\%=(\frac{1526-1400}{1400}\times 100)$

$=(\frac{126}{1400}\times 100)=9\%$
