Sample Question 1
Fin
Hard • Quantitative Aptitude Test
A retailer buys a radio for Rs. 215. His overhead expenses are Rs. 25. If he sells the radio for Rs. 300, his profit will be
A
20%
B
25%
C
39.5%
D
43.6%
โ Correct Answer: B - 25%
๐ Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
Total CP=215+25=240.
Profit = 300โ240=60.
% = (60/240)ร100=25%.
Profit = 300โ240=60.
% = (60/240)ร100=25%.

A
Rs. 360
B
Rs. 410
C
Rs. 440
D
Rs. 450
โ Correct Answer: C - Rs. 440
๐ Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
SP=400ร1.10=440.
Sample Question 3
Fin
Hard • Quantitative Aptitude Test
If a washing machine is sold for Rs. 660 at a loss of 12%. Its cost price should be
A
Rs. 580.80
B
Rs. 750.00
C
Rs. 759.20
D
Rs. 800.00
โ Correct Answer: B - Rs. 750.00
๐ Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
CP=660/(1โ0.12)=660/0.88=750.
Sample Question 4
Fin
Hard • Quantitative Aptitude Test
A man sells two watches at Rs. 99 each. On one he gains 10% and on the other he losses 10%. His gain of loss per cent is
A
No gain/loss
B
1% gain
C
1% loss
D
2% loss
โ Correct Answer: C - 1% loss
๐ Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
The formula for the total loss percentage is:
\(\text{Loss Percentage}=\left(\frac{x}{10}\right)^{2}\%\)
Given \(x = 10\):
\(\text{Loss Percentage}=\left(\frac{10}{10}\right)^{2}\%=(1)^{2}\%=\mathbf{1\%}\)
\(\text{Loss Percentage}=\left(\frac{x}{10}\right)^{2}\%\)
Given \(x = 10\):
\(\text{Loss Percentage}=\left(\frac{10}{10}\right)^{2}\%=(1)^{2}\%=\mathbf{1\%}\)
Sample Question 5
Fin
Medium • Quantitative Aptitude Test
By selling oranges at 32 for a rupee, a man lost 40%. How many for a rupee must he sell so as to gain 20%?
A
16
B
19
C
21
D
25
โ Correct Answer: A - 16
๐ Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
Find the price factors:
Case 1 (40% loss): Selling price is \(100\% - 40\% = 60\%\) of Cost Price.
Case 2 (20% gain): Desired selling price is \(100\% + 20\% = 120\%\) of Cost Price.
Set up the inverse proportion:
\(\text{Initial Quantity}\times \text{Initial Price Factor}=\text{New Quantity}\times \text{New Price Factor}\)
\(32\times 60\%=\text{New Quantity}\times 120\%\)
Solve for the New Quantity:
\(\text{New Quantity}=\frac{32\times 60}{120}=\frac{32}{2}=\mathbf{16}\)
Case 1 (40% loss): Selling price is \(100\% - 40\% = 60\%\) of Cost Price.
Case 2 (20% gain): Desired selling price is \(100\% + 20\% = 120\%\) of Cost Price.
Set up the inverse proportion:
\(\text{Initial Quantity}\times \text{Initial Price Factor}=\text{New Quantity}\times \text{New Price Factor}\)
\(32\times 60\%=\text{New Quantity}\times 120\%\)
Solve for the New Quantity:
\(\text{New Quantity}=\frac{32\times 60}{120}=\frac{32}{2}=\mathbf{16}\)
Sample Question 6
Fin
Medium • Quantitative Aptitude Test
By selling 200 oranges, a man gains the selling price of 40 oranges. His gain percent is
A
22%
B
24%
C
25%
D
26%
โ Correct Answer: C - 25%
๐ Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
Set up the variables:
Let the selling price (SP) of 1 orange be Rs. 1.
Then, the total selling price of 200 oranges = Rs. 200
The gain equals the selling price of 40 oranges = Rs. 40
Calculate the total Cost Price (CP):
Using the profit formula (\(CP = SP - \text{Gain}\)):
\(\text{Total CP}=200-40=\text{Rs. }\mathbf{160}\)
Calculate the Gain Percentage:
Profit percentage is always calculated relative to the Cost Price:
\(\text{Gain Percentage}=\left(\frac{\text{Gain}}{\text{Total CP}}\right)\times 100\%\)
\(\text{Gain Percentage}=\left(\frac{40}{160}\right)\times 100\%=\frac{1}{4}\times 100\%=\mathbf{25\%}\)
Let the selling price (SP) of 1 orange be Rs. 1.
Then, the total selling price of 200 oranges = Rs. 200
The gain equals the selling price of 40 oranges = Rs. 40
Calculate the total Cost Price (CP):
Using the profit formula (\(CP = SP - \text{Gain}\)):
\(\text{Total CP}=200-40=\text{Rs. }\mathbf{160}\)
Calculate the Gain Percentage:
Profit percentage is always calculated relative to the Cost Price:
\(\text{Gain Percentage}=\left(\frac{\text{Gain}}{\text{Total CP}}\right)\times 100\%\)
\(\text{Gain Percentage}=\left(\frac{40}{160}\right)\times 100\%=\frac{1}{4}\times 100\%=\mathbf{25\%}\)

A
1% loss
B
1% gain
C
2% loss
D
Neither
โ Correct Answer: D - Neither
๐ Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:

Total SP = 450+550=1000.
Break even.
Sample Question 8
Fin
Medium • Quantitative Aptitude Test
A shopkeeper gains 20% after allowing 10% discount on the list price. What will be his gain per cent if he allows 20% discount on the list price?
A
8%
B
7%
C
6 2/3โ%
D
5 3/4%
โ Correct Answer: C - 6 2/3โ%
๐ Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
CP=75,MP=100.
With 20% disc,
SP=80.
Gain % = (5/75)ร100=6.66%.
With 20% disc,
SP=80.
Gain % = (5/75)ร100=6.66%.
Sample Question 9
Fin
Hard • Quantitative Aptitude Test

A
6% profit
B
6% loss
C
5% profit
D
5% loss
โ Correct Answer: C - 5% profit
๐ Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
CP=31/0.93=33.33.
Sells at 35
โน profit = Rs. 1.66.
Profit% = (1.66/33.33)ร100=5%.
