Q. If a product is sold at a loss of 20% for $80, what was the cost price of the product? (2023)
A.
$100
B.
$90
C.
$80
D.
$70
Show solution
Solution
Let the cost price be x. Then, 80 = x - (20% of x) => 80 = x - 0.2x => 80 = 0.8x => x = 100.

Q. If a product is sold for $150 after a discount of 25%, what was the original price?
A.
$175
B.
$200
C.
$180
D.
$160
Show solution
Solution
Let the original price be x. After a 25% discount, the selling price is x - (0.25 * x) = 0.75x. Thus, 0.75x = $150, so x = $150 / 0.75 = $200.

A.
$100
B.
$90
C.
$110
D.

A.
$100
B.
$110
C.
$80
D.
$90
Show solution
Solution
Let the cost price be x. Selling Price = Cost Price - (10% of Cost Price) = x - 0.10x = 0.90x. Thus, 0.90x = $90, so x = $90 / 0.90 = $100.

A.
$100
B.
$95
C.
$85
D.

Q. If a sum of money doubles itself in 5 years at simple interest, what will be the rate of interest?
A.
10%
B.
12%
C.
15%
D.
20%
Show solution
Solution
Using the formula for simple interest, we know that the interest earned is equal to the principal. Therefore, if the principal doubles in 5 years, the rate of interest can be calculated as (100 * Interest) / (Principal * Time) = (100 * Principal) / (Principal * 5) = 20%. Thus, the rate of interest is 20%.
Correct Answer: A — 10%

A.
10%
B.
12%
C.
15%
D.
20%
Show solution
Solution
Using the formula for simple interest, SI = PRT, where SI = Principal, R = Rate, and T = Time. If the principal doubles in 5 years, then SI = P. Therefore, P = PRT implies R = 1/5 = 20%. Hence, the rate of interest is 10%.
Correct Answer: A — 10%
