ANSWERS - HURDLE 19 : SALE AND PURCHASE (Two Article Bought at Certain Price, S.P different )

Ans 1.Max profit possible when the article sold at 20 % profit
purchased at 14,000 and the article sold at 10 % loss has the
minimum possible cost that is Rs 1000.
So Max profit = 2800 – 100 = 2700.

Ans 2. Let cost of A= A , so cost of B = 15000-A
Let Profit in first case be P.
- 17.5A/100 + (15000-A) 27.5/100 = P --i
Now 27.5A/100 – (15000-A)17.5/100 = P-900 – ii
Solving the two equation we get A = 6500.

Ans 3. Let cost of A= A , so cost of B = 15000-A
Let Profit in first case be P.
- 17.5A/100 + (15000-A) 27.5/100 = P --i
Now 27.5A/100 – (15000-A)17.5/100 = P-900 – ii

Solving the two equation we get A = 6500.

Ans 4.Let cost of A be Y , so B will cost 30000-Y
SP of A = 5775
(100-45)Y/100 = 5775
so Y = 10500
Cost of B = 30000-10500= 19500
Total sale price = 30000*120/100 = 36000
SO sale price of B = 36000 – 5775 = 30225
So profit % in B = 55
No. Case 2 : 10500*155/100 – 19500*55/100 = 16275 +10725 = 27000

Ans 5. 21,000 and 25,725

Ans 6. 22,500 and 29,250

Ans 7. 43,750 and 49,000

Ans 11. Article 1 bought for 13,250 and sold for 12,720 and Article 2 bought for 26,500 and sold for 23,850

Ans 12. Article 1 bought for 33,000 and sold for 19,140 and Article 2 bought for 27,500 and sold for 34,100.

Ans 13. CP=6,000 and S.P= 6,900

Ans 14. C.P=10,000 and S.P= 12,500

Ans 15. C.P= 14,800 and S.P= 17,760

Ans 16. C.P= 20,400, S.P= 30,192 at 48 % profit.

Ans 17. C.P= 44,800, S.P=42,112 at 6% loss

Ans 18. C.P 42,400, S.P =34,768 at 18 % loss.

Ans 19. Article 1 bought for 32,100 and sold for 31,458 and Article 2 bought for 42,800 and sold for 35,952.

Ans 20.Article 1 bought for 33,000 and sold for 34,320, Article 2 bought for 44,000 and sold for 39,600.

Ans21. Minimum sale price will occur when the article being sold at loss cost the maximum possible and the article being
sold at profit cost the minimum.
So Let the cost of A = 34200
Cost of B will be 45600
Total SP = 38304 + 44688 = 82992
