Q1. Price of a T.V set is Rs. 20000 is available for sale at discount of Rs. 800. Find the discount rate and purchaser price.

Discount Rate Formula:

\[\text{Discount Rate} = \left( \frac{\text{Discount Amount}}{\text{Original Price}} \right) \times 100\]

Substituting values:

\[\text{Discount Rate} = \left( \frac{800}{20000} \right) \times 100 = 4\%\]

Purchaser Price Calculation:

\[\text{Purchaser Price} = 20000 - 800 = 19200\]

So, the discount rate is 4%, and the final purchaser price is Rs. 19,200.


Q2. A person buy a book rack of Rs. 18000, on the discount of 12%. What was the original price of book rack?

Using the formula:

\[\text{Original Price} = \frac{\text{Discounted Price}}{(1 - \text{Discount Rate})}\]

Substituting values:

\[\text{Original Price} = \frac{18000}{(1 - 0.12)} = \frac{18000}{0.88} = 20454.55\]

Thus, the original price of the book rack was approximately Rs. 20,454.55.


Q3. 25 packets of papers purchased by a photo copier. Market price of each packet is Rs.300 and he got a discount of 18% and an additional discount @ 5% on the cash payment. Find the value of the deal.

Step 1: Calculate the total market price

\[\text{Total Market Price} = \text{Number of Packets} \times \text{Price per Packet}\]

\[= 25 \times 300 = 7500\]

Step 2: Apply the first discount of 18%

\[\text{Discount Amount} = 7500 \times \frac{18}{100} = 1350\]

\[\text{Price after first discount} = 7500 - 1350 = 6150\]

Step 3: Apply the additional cash payment discount of 5%

\[\text{Additional Discount Amount} = 6150 \times \frac{5}{100} = 307.50\]

\[\text{Final Price} = 6150 - 307.50 = 5842.50\]

Thus, the final value of the deal is Rs. 5,842.50.


Q4. A company offers buy three pens and get four. Convert this offer of quantity discount into equivalent discount rate.

Using the formula:

\[\text{Commission} = 65,00,000 \times \frac{3}{100}\]

\[= 65,00,000 \times 0.03 = 1,95,000\]

Thus, the property dealer's commission is Rs. 1,95,000.


Q6. A man bought a second hand scooter for Rs.1,65,000 and he sold it for Rs.1,70,000. Calculate the amount of profit or loss that he made by selling his second hand scotty.

\[\text{Profit} = \text{Selling Price} - \text{Cost Price}\]

Substituting values:

\[\text{Profit} = 1,70,000 - 1,65,000 = 5,000\]

Profit Percentage Calculation

Using the formula:

\[\text{Profit Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost Price}} \right) \times 100\]

Substituting values:

\[\text{Profit Percentage} = \left( \frac{5000}{165000} \right) \times 100\]

\[= \left( 0.0303 \right) \times 100 = 3.03\%\]

Thus, the man made a profit of Rs. 5,000, which is 3.03% of the cost price.


Q7. A person bought a T.V set at cost of Rs. 5000 and sold it at a profit of 25%. Find the profit and selling price of T.V.

Substituting values:

\[\text{Profit} = 5000 \times \frac{25}{100} = 5000 \times 0.25 = 1250\]

Thus, the profit earned is Rs. 1,250.

Selling Price Calculation

\[\text{Selling Price} = \text{Cost Price} + \text{Profit}\]

Substituting values:

\[\text{Selling Price} = 5000 + 1250 = 6250\]

Thus, the selling price of the TV set is Rs. 6,250.


Q8. Calculate the annual installment of the depreciation for a machine of having price Rs.5,00,000 at the end of 30 years its scrap value is Rs.60,000. Also find the rate of depreciation and value of the asset after 20 years.

Using the formula for annual depreciation:

\[\text{Annual Depreciation} = \frac{\text{Cost of Asset} - \text{Scrap Value}}{\text{Life of Asset}}\]

Substituting values:

\[\text{Annual Depreciation} = \frac{5,00,000 - 60,000}{30} = \frac{4,40,000}{30} = 14,666.67\]

Thus, the annual installment of depreciation is Rs. 14,667.

Depreciation Rate Calculation

Using the formula:

\[\text{Depreciation Rate} = \left( \frac{\text{Annual Depreciation}}{\text{Cost of Asset - Scrap Value}} \right) \times 100\]

Substituting values:

\[\text{Depreciation Rate} = \left( \frac{14,667}{5,00,000 - 60,000} \right) \times 100\]

\[= \left( 0.0333 \right) \times 100 = 3.33\%\]

Thus, the depreciation rate is 3.33% per year.

Asset Value After 20 Years

Using the formula:

\[\text{Asset Value} = \text{Cost of Asset} - (n \times \text{Annual Depreciation})\]

For \( n = 20 \) years:

\[\text{Asset Value} = 5,00,000 - (20 \times 14,667)\]

\[= 5,00,000 - 2,93,340 = 2,06,660\]

Thus, the value of the asset after 20 years is Rs. 2,06,660.

  • \( t = 6 \) (Time in Years)

Substituting the values:

\[ SI = 3500 \times 0.25 \times 6 \]

\[ SI = 3500 \times 1.5 \]

\[ SI = 5250 \]


Compound Interest Formula:

\[ CI = P \left(1 + r \right)^t - P \]

Substituting the values:

\[ CI = 3500 \left(1 + 0.25 \right)^6 - 3500 \]

\[ CI = 3500 \times (1.25)^6 - 3500 \]

Approximating:

\[ (1.25)^6 = 3.814697265625 \]

\[ CI = 3500 \times 3.814697265625 - 3500 \]
