SSC CPO SI and ASI Model Paper 8

(1) C.P. of first car = ₹75000 S.P. of first car
$=\mathit{₹}\left[\frac{100+15}{100}\times 75000\right]$
= $\mathit{₹}\left[\frac{115}{100}\times 75000\right]$
= ₹86250
C.P. of second car = ₹ 75000 Gain = 18% S.P. of second car
$=\mathit{₹}\left[\frac{100+18}{100}\times 75000\right]$ $=\mathit{₹}\left[\frac{118}{100}\times 75000\right]$
= ₹ 88500
Total C.P. of both the cars = ₹75000 +₹75000= ₹ 1,50,000
Total S.P. of both the cars = ₹ 86250 +₹ 88500= ₹1,74,750
Profit = 174750 – 150000 $=\mathit{₹}24750$
Profit% = $\left[\frac{24750}{150000}\times 100\right]=16.5\%$
