Detailed Solution for RRB NTPC Previous Year Paper Tier-I 2016 (Set 1) - Question 17

Let the numbers be 2x and 3x
LCM of 2x and 3x = 6x
Given that LCM = 66

RRB NTPC Previous Year Paper Tier-I 2016 (Set 1) - Question 18

A trader bought 10 kg of rice at Rs. 400 per kg. He sold half the quantity at 20% loss and remaining at 10% profit. What was his net profit or loss in percentage?

Detailed Solution for RRB NTPC Previous Year Paper Tier-I 2016 (Set 1) - Question 18

Cost price of 10 kg of rice = Rs. 400 × 10 = Rs. 4000

Cost price of 5 kg of rice = Rs. 2000 and the cost price of the remaining 5 kg of rice = Rs. 2000

Also given that trader got 20% loss for half of the quantity

We know that loss% = (CP - SP)/CP × 100
⇒ 20 = (2000 - SP)/2000 × 100
⇒ 200000 - 40000 = 100SP
⇒ SP = Rs. 1600
∴ Loss for first half = 2000 - 1600 = Rs. 400

Also given that profit for second half is 10%
⇒ 10 = (SP - 2000)/2000 × 100
⇒ 100SP = 20000 + 200000
⇒ SP = 2200
∴ Profit for second half = 2200 - 2000 = Rs. 200
∴ Net there is a loss of Rs. 200
Final loss % = (net loss/total cost price × 100) = 200/4000 × 100 = 5%
