A customer paid you $600 for construction work, out of which, 3/5 of the total amount was spent on the purchase of materials and 1/5 of the remaining was spent on travelling. How much is left after all the deductions ?

A. $120

B. $190

C. $192

D. $240

Answer : C.

Explanation:

Total amount paid by the customer for the construction work = $600
Amount spent on the purchase of materials = 3/5 of the total amount = 3/5 * 600 = $360
Remaining amount = $ (600 – 360) = $240
Amount spent on travelling = 1/5 of the remaining amount = 1/5 * 240 = $48
Total amount spent = $ (360 + 48) = $408
Amount left after both the deductions = $ (600 – 408) = $192

Ajith sells a table to Ajay at 10% profit and Ajay sells it to Anoob at 10% loss. At what price did Ajith purchase the table if Anoob paid Rs.2178 ?

A. Rs 2100

B. Rs 2150

C. Rs 2200

D. Rs 2250

Answer : C. Rs 2200…

Explanation:

Let the cost price of table for Ajith be Rs.x and given that, cost price of table for Anoob = Rs.2178
90% of 110% of x = Rs.2178
(90/100) (110/100) x = 2178
x = (2178 * 100) / 9 * 11
x = Rs.2200.
