Sample Question 1
Profit & Loss Hard • Quantitative Aptitude Test
An article with a cost price of Rs. 2,000 was sold for Rs. 2,500. What is the profit percentage?
A 20%
B 25%
C 30%
D 35%
✓ Correct Answer: B - 25%
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
The profit earned is: \[\text{Profit} = 2500 - 2000 = \text{Rs. } 500\] \[\text{Profit Percentage} = \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost Price}} \times 100\% = \frac{500}{2000} \times 100\% = 25\%\] Thus, the correct option is (B).
Sample Question 2
Profit & Loss Hard • Quantitative Aptitude Test
A television set is purchased for Rs. 8,000 and sold at a 10% loss. What is the selling price?
A Rs. 7,000
B Rs. 7,100
C Rs. 7,200
D Rs. 7,500
✓ Correct Answer: C - Rs. 7,200
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
The cost price is $\text{CP} = \text{Rs. } 8000$ and loss is \%$. \[\text{Loss} = 8000 \times 0.10 = \text{Rs. } 800\] \[\text{Selling Price (SP)} = 8000 - 800 = \text{Rs. } 7200\] Thus, the correct option is (C).
Sample Question 3

B Rs. 1,900
C Rs. 1,925
D Rs. 2,000
✓ Correct Answer: C - Rs. 1,925
📖 Step-by-Step Solution & Conceptual Rationale:
The cost price is $\text{CP} = \text{Rs. } 1540$ and profit is \%$. \[\text{Profit} = 1540 \times 0.25 = \text{Rs. } 385\] \[\text{Selling Price (SP)} = \text{CP} + \text{Profit} = 1540 + 385 = \text{Rs. } 1925\] Thus, the correct option is (C).
