Q-10 A fruit- seller sells 5 apples at the cost price of 6 apples. Find his profit percent
(a) 25 Percent
(b) 15 Percent
(c) 20 Percent
(d) 16 Percent

Answer With Reasons:-

1. (a) 1/3
L.C.M. of 3/9, 4/12, 8/24 = L.C.M. of 1/3, 1/3, 1/3
= L.C.M. of numerators / H.C.F. of denomenators
= L.C.M. of 1, 1, 1/ H.C.F. of 3, 3, 3 = 1/3

2. (a) (4)2 + (6)2
A = 72 + 32 = 49 +9 = 58
B = 52 + 82 = 25 + 64 = 89
C = 42 + 62 = 16 + 36 = 52
D = 32 + 82 = 9 + 64 = 73
Clearly (c) is the smallest
3. (d) 1800
25/3% of? = 150 = 25/ (3 ´ 100) of? = 150
? = (150 ´ 3 ´ 100) / 25 = 1800
4. (c) 30
? % of 30 + 40% of 40 = 50% of 50
?/100 ´ 30 + 40/100 ´ 40 = 50/100 ´ 50
3/10 ´ ? + 16 = 25
3/10 ´ ? = 25 - 16 = 9
? = (9 ´ 10) /3= 30
5. (a) 125
Ö225/Ö9 = 625/?
15/3 = 625/? = 15 ´ ? = 625 ´ 3
? = (625 ´ 3) / 15 = 125
6. (a) 5
[(3.5)2 - (1.5)2] / (3.5 - 1.5) = [(3.5 + 1.5) (3.5 - 1.5)] / (3.5 -1.5) = (3.5 +
1.5) = 5
7. (b) 0.16
1.6 ´ 0.25 ´ 0.4 = 1.6 ´ .100 = 1.6 ´ .1 = 0.16
8. (d) Rs. 900
Ratio = 11: 18: 23
Proportional sum = 11 + 18 + 23 = 52
B’s share = 18/52 ´ 2600 = Rs. 900
9. (d) 6
Numbers between 15 and 90, which are perfect squares, are 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81
These are six numbers
10. (c) 20 Percent
Let cost price of 6 apples be Re. 1
S.P. of 5 apples = Re. 1
S.P. of 1 apples = Re. 1/5
S.P. of 6 apples = 1/5 ´ 6 = Rs. 6/5
Profit = 6/5 - 1 = 1/5
Profit% = (1/5) / 1 ´ 100 = 20%
