Answer: 1 Mark
Let the Fanta, Coca-Cola and Sprite bottles be 8x, 15x, 12x.
The total number of Fanta bottle is 120.
So, 8x = 120
x = 15
Then coca cola bottles =15×15=225
Sprite bottles =12×15=180.
So, the total number of bottle is 120 + 225 + 180 = 525.
Alternative Method:
Let 'x' be the total number of bottles.
Now, the bottles are in the ratio 8: 15: 12
The sum of these numbers = 8 + 15 + 12 = 35
The number of Fanta bottles = 120
Also number of Fanta bottles=835×x = 120
So, x=358×120=525
Hence the total number of bottles is 525.

Answer: 1 Mark
Cost price = ₹ 12000, overhead charges = ₹ 2850
∴ Total cost price = ₹ (12000 + 2850) = 14850
Selling Price = ₹ 13860
Selling Price < Cost Price ⇒ Loss
∴ Loss = Cost price - Selling price
⇒ Loss = ₹ (14850-13860) = ₹ 990
Loss percentage = LossCost Price×100
Loss percentage = 99014850×100 = 6.7 %
So, Ravi incurred a loss of 6.7%.

Answer: 1 Mark
Number of questions Aarush used to solve initially = 4 questions in 16 minutes
Time needed to solve a question = 164 = 4 minutes
Number of questions Aarush can solve after practising = 6 questions in 18 minutes
Time needed to solve a question = 186 = 3 minutes
Decrease in time to solve a single question = 4 - 3 = 1 minutes.
Therefore, the percentage decrease is given by
Decrease Percent = amount decreasedOriginal or base×100
On substituting the values, we get:
Decrease in percentage = 14×100 = 25%
Hence, after practising Aarush reduced 25% of the time to solve a single question.

Answer: 1 Mark
Given that:
Marked price of the toy = ₹ 200
Discount = 20%.
Discount = Discount % of Marked Price
= 20100×200
= ₹ 40
Selling price = Marked Price - Discount
= ₹( 200- 40 )
= ₹ 160
It is given that even after the discount the shopkeeper was making a profit of 60%.
So, the cost price of the toy
=100160×160=₹100
Hence, the actual price of the toy is ₹ 100.

Price before discount: 1 Mark
Selling price: 1 Mark
Given that,
Radhika bought a new mobile phone and saved ₹1000 when a discount of 10% was given.
We can infer from the above statement that 10% of the original price = ₹ 1000
10% of the original price = ₹ 1000
Let the price be P.
⇒10% of P = 1000
⇒10100×P = 1000
⇒P=1000×10010
⇒P = ₹ 10000
Hence the original price of the mobile phone is ₹ 10000.
Now, the original price of the mobile phone is ₹ 10000.
Discount given = ₹ 1000
∴ The Selling price or the price at which the phone was sold = Original Price - Discount
On substituting the values we get:
Selling Price = 10000 - 1000 = ₹ 9000
Hence, the mobile phone was sold at ₹ 9000.

Answer: 1 Mark
Here,
It is given that Soham bought a sofa for Rs6500.
He paid Rs 975 as interest in three years.
Let, Principal amount be 'P' = Rs 6500
Interest be 'I' = Rs 975
Time be 'T' = 3 years
The rate of interest =?
Let the rate of interest be 'R'.
We know that,
I=P×T×R100
⇒R=I×100P×T
⇒R=975×1006500×3
⇒R=5
Hence the rate of interest is 5%.

Given that:
Meet saves ₹ 4000 from her salary, which is 10% of her salary.
Let Meet’s salary be ₹ x
Given that,
10% of x=4000
10100×x=4000
x10=4000
x=4000×10=₹40000
Therefore, Meet’s salary is ₹ 40,000.
Her net expenditure = Salary - savings = 40000 - 4000 = ₹ 36,000
Now in order to buy a bike Meet starts saving 30% of her salary.
Her salary is ₹ 40,000.
The total amount she starts saving monthly = 30100×40,000 = ₹ 12,000
Her net saving monthly is ₹ 12,000.

Given,
Meena pays an interest of ₹ 45 for one year.
The rate of interest is 9 %
Interest = ₹ 45
Time = 1 year
Rate of interest = 9%
Let the principal be P
We know that,
S.I=P×R×T100
45=P×9×1100
⇒P =45×1009
∴P = ₹ 500
The sum she borrowed is ₹ 500.
The net amount she will pay at the end of one year = 500 + 45 = ₹ 545.

Given,
Harish borrowed ₹ 7500 from a bank.
a) The rate of interest is 5 % p.a.
The principal amount, P = ₹ 7500
Rate of Interest, R = 5 % p.a.
Time, T = 3 years
S.I.=P×R×T100
S.I.=7500×5×3100
S.I.= ₹ 1125
Amount = Principal + Interest
⇒ Amount = 7500 + 1125
Amount = ₹ 8625
Hence, the total amount to be paid at the end of three years is ₹ 8625
b) Now, Harish was able to pay only ₹ 5625.
So, the remaining amount
= ₹ (8625 - 5625) = ₹ 3000
The new principal amount = ₹ 3000
The rate of interest is same = 5 % p.a.
The interest which he has to pay at the end of the fourth year
= 5100×3000 = ₹ 150
So, the amount which Harish has to pay at the end of the fourth year
= 3000 + 150 = ₹ 3150

Answer: 1 Mark Each
Given that,
Cost price = ₹ 2500
Selling price = ₹ 3000
Selling price > Cost price ⇒ Profit
∴ Profit = 3000 - 2500 = ₹ 500
Profit %=ProfitCP×100
Profit %=5002500×100
Profit %=20%
Now it was sold for ₹ 2000.
The selling price, SP = ₹ 2000
SP<CP
Therefore it is a case of loss.
Loss = CP - SP = 2500 - 2000 = ₹ 500
So, the loss % is given by,
Loss % = 5002500×100 = 20 %
