2. X loses Rs. 4530
3. X gain Rs. 3150
4. X loses Rs. 3150
5. None of these

Answers:

1-Solution : The answer cannot be determined from the information given.

2-Solution : None of the above
Total cost = Rs. [1*1000 + (100 – 2)% of 1 * 4000] 
=> Rs. (1000 + 0.98 x 4000) 
=> Rs. (1000 + 3920) => Rs. 4920.

3-Solution : 12%
4/9 candies at 27% profit and rest candies (i.e. 5/9) candies at CP (means profit = 0)
Overall Profit% = (4/9 * 27) + (5/9 * 0)
Overall profit% = 12%

4-Solution : 3%
Let, he sells remaining pencils at x% loss.
(1/3 * 36) – (2/3 * x) = 10
12 – 2x/3 = 10
X = 3

5-Solution : 3300
Number of valid votes = 80% of 7500 = 6000.
Valid votes polled by other candidate = 55% of 6000= [(55/100) x 6000] = 3300.

6-Solution : 8 (15/17)%
Total sales tax paid = 7% of Rs. 400 + 9% of Rs. 6400
Total sales tax paid = Rs. 604
Total cost of the items = Rs. (400 + 6400) = Rs. 6800.

Required Percentage = 604/6800 * 100 = 8 (15/17)%

7-Solution : 33.33%
Water in original mixture = 1/4
Water in final mixture = 1/2 
Use Allegation :
1/4                                            1
                       1/2                

1/2                                           1/4 ———–>   Ratio becomes = 2:1
Quantity replaced = 1/3 or 33.33%

OR

Let total mixture be = 40 lts
Milk = ¾ * 40 = 30 lts
Water = 10 lts
Let, replaced amount be = x
Milk:Water in original quantity = 3:1 ——–> Milk replaced = 3x/4
Milk becomes in final mixture = 30 – 3x/4 (this is equal to ½ of 40 lts)
SO,
30 – 3x/4 = 20 ——-> x = 40/3
Total replaced quantity = 40/3 lts
Percentage removed = (40/3) / 40 * 100 = 33.33%

8-Solution : 150 gms
In 50 gms, Gold and Silver in the ratio = 80:20
So, Gold = 40 gms 
Silver = 10 gms
Let quantity of gold be mixed up be “x”
SO,
(40+x)/(50+x) = 95/100
X = 150 gms

9-Solution : X gain Rs. 3150
Rs. 150000 x 105/100 = 157500 (X sells to Y at a profit of 5%)
Rs. 157500 x 98/100 = 154350 (Y resells to X at a loss of 2%)

X gains = Rs. 157500 – 154350 = Rs. 3150
