The cost price of article R is equal to the selling price of article T. While selling R as well
as T the shopkeeper incurred a loss.
The cost price of Q is more than that of S and the shopkeeper obtained a profit by selling
Q.
The profit made by selling any article is more than Rs. 50. The profit made on any two
articles is not the same. The loss incurred on any two articles is not the same.
On only two articles, the shopkeeper made a profit. The profit/loss made on any article is
not Rs. 150.
1. What is the selling price (in Rs.) of article P?
a. 700 b. 750 c. 850 d. 900
2. What is the difference (in Rs.) between the cost price and the selling price of article S?
a. 50 b. 250 c. 200 d. 100
• The cost price of E, which is sold at a profit less than 30%, is equal to the average of the cost price of
B and that of G.
• The profit made on one of the items is twice the amount of profit made on exactly two other items.
• The selling price of the item on which the shopkeeper incurs a loss of 16.67% is 40% less than the cost
price of A.
• The profit made on the item that is sold at Rs. 150 is 25%.
• The profit (in base 8) on the item that is sold at Rs.175 is Rs. 62.
• The cost price of item C is 50% more than the cost price of F.
All the given numbers are in decimal system unless otherwise is mentioned.
1. What is the cost price of D?
a. Rs.75
b. Rs.125
c. Rs.100
d. Cannot be determined.
2. If the cost price of G is more than that of B, what is the absolute difference
between the maximum and minimum possible values of selling price of B?
a. Rs.12
b. Rs.25
c. Rs.40
d. Rs.48
3. What is the average of selling prices (in base 8) of C and E?
a. Rs.141
b. Rs.144
c. Rs.174
d. Cannot be determined.
From statement ii, it can be deduced that the selling prices of items whose cost prices are
Rs.75, Rs.100 and Rs.125 are Rs.100, Rs.125 and Rs.175 respectively.
Using condition iv, since the profit made on the item the selling price of which Rs.125 is 25,
the cost price of that item= 100/125*150= Rs.120
Using condition vi, either cost of item F is Rs.80 and that of item C is Rs.120, or cost price of
F is Rs.60 and that of C is Rs.90.
Using (iii), the selling price of the item on which a loss of 16.67% is incurred has to be Rs.75
and thus its cost price is Rs.90. Hence, the cost price of A is Rs.125.
Further analysis leads to the following table:
75 90 C -15
125 100 E 25
175 125 A 50
100 75 D 25
2. If the cost price of item G is more than that of B, then cost price of B is Rs.80.
The, selling price of B can be either Rs.48 or Rs.60.
Hence the required difference is Rs.12.
• Candidates A and B retained their votes from all previous rounds as long as they were in
contention.
• 25% of those who votes for candidate C in round 1, voted for candidate B in round 2.
• Half of those who voted for candidate C in round 1, voted for candidate B in round 3.
• In every round, all contestants who are in contention voted for themselves.

The year is 2089. Beijing, London, New York, and Paris are in contention to host the 2096
Olympics. The eventual winner is determined through several rounds of voting by members
of the IOC with each member representing a different city. All the four cities in contention
are also represented in IOC.
In any round of voting; the city receiving the lowest number of votes in that round gets
eliminated. The survivor after the last round of voting gets to host the event.
A member is allowed to cast votes for at most two different cities in all rounds of voting
combined. (Hence, a member becomes ineligible to cast a vote in a given round id both
the cities(s) he voted for tin earlier rounds are out of contention in that round of voting.)
A member is also ineligible to cast a vote in a round if the city n(S) he represents is in
contention in that round of voting.
As long as the member is eligible, (S) he must vote and vote for only one candidate city
in any round of voting.
The following incomplete table shows the information on cities that received the maximum and
minimum votes in different rounds, the number of votes cast in their favour, and the total votes that
were cast in those rounds.
All those who voted for London and Paris in round 1, continued to vote
for the same cities in subsequent rounds as long as these cities were in
contention. 75% of those who voted for Beijing in round 2 as well.
Those who voted for New York in round 1, either for Beijing or Paris in
round 2.
The difference in votes cast for the two contending cities in the last
round was 1.
50% of those who voted for Beijing in round 1, voted for Paris in round 3.
1. What percentage of member from among those who voted for New York in round 1, voted
for Beijing in round 2?
a) 33.33 b) 50 c) 66.67 d) 75
3. What percentage of members from among those who voted for Beijing in round 2 and
were eligible to vote in round 3, voted for London?
a) 33.33 b) 38.10 c) 50 d) 66.67
