  1. $30$

  2. $25$

Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A bill is drawn by the drawer(debtor) on the drawee (creditor) so as to give him a sense of  security for the receivables. But in case the drawer does not want to wait till the maturity period of the bill or rather he has some urgent need of funds, what he will do is get the bill discounted by a bank. When the bill is discounted by the bank, it pays the drawer an amount after deducting a certain percentage, because they are giving the drawer the funds he needs before the date of maturity of the bill and the discount is a type of fee for their service. So here in this case the amount of discount is calculated as follows:

Discount = $Rs. 1500$ x $2/100$= $Rs. 30$
Remember here the discount percentage is in not expressed as per annum so do not multiply it with the number of months.

Tarun got $30%$ concession on the labelled price of an article and sold it for $Rs. 8750$ with $25%$ profit on the price he bought. What was the labelled price ?

  1. $Rs. 10,000$

  2. $Rs. 12,000$

  3. $Rs. 16,000$

  4. Data inadequate

  5. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Let the labelled price be $x$ Rs
$\therefore $ Price at which $=x-\dfrac{30}{10}\times x$
he bought $=\left(\dfrac{7x}{10}\right)$ Rs
Also profit is $25\%$
$\therefore  125\% $ of $\dfrac{7x}{10}=8750$ Rs
$\therefore \dfrac{5}{4}\times \dfrac{7x}{10}=8750$ Rs
$\therefore x=\dfrac{8750\times 4\times 10}{5\times 7}$
$\therefore x=10000$ Rs
$\therefore $ Labelled price is $10000$ Rs

  2. Rs. $100$

A businessman marks his goods in such a way that even after allowing $12.5 \%$ discount on a cash purchase he gains $20 \%$. If the cost price is Rs. $140$, the marked price is

  1. Rs. $162$

  2. Rs. $172$

  3. Rs. $193$

  4. Rs. $192$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Business man gains $20\%$ on his cost price, that means, he has sold his goods,
$140 + \dfrac{140\times20}{100} =$ Rs. $168$
Selling price $= 168$

Now, let marked price was Rs. $x$
According to question,
$x - \dfrac{12.5 x}{100} = 168$

$\Rightarrow\dfrac{100x - 12.5 x}{100} = 168$

$\Rightarrow 100x - 12.5 x = 16800$

$\Rightarrow 87.5 x = 16800$

$\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{16800}{87.5}$

$\Rightarrow x = 192$

So, marked price was Rs. $192$

A money lender finds that due to reducing the interest rate decrease from $8\%$ to $7\dfrac{3}{4}\%$, his yearly income diminishes by Rs. 61.50. His capital is 

  1. Rs. 22400

  2. Rs. 23800

  3. Rs. 24600

  4. Rs. 26000


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Difference in rate$=\left(8-7\dfrac{3}{4}\right)\%=\dfrac{1}{4}\%$
Let the capital be rate Rs.$x$
$\therefore  \dfrac{1}{4}\%$ of $x=61.50$
$\therefore x = 61.50\times 100\times 4$
     Rs$=24600$
