उत्तर

(i) Let C.P. of the radio-set = Rs.x

Gain = Rs.`"x"/9`

S.P. = Rs.`("x"+"x"/9)=((9"x"+"x")/9)"Rs." = "Rs."(10"x")/9`

But, we are given S.P. of the radio-set = Rs.250

`∴(10"x")/9=250`

`⇒"x"=250xx9/10⇒"x"=25xx9⇒"x"=225`

∴ C.P. of the radio set = Rs.225

 

(ii) Profit = Rs.`"x"/9`

= Rs.`225/9` ......(Substituting the value of x)

= Rs.25

Profit% =`"Profit"/"C.P."xx100`

`=25/225xx100=(25xx100)/225=100/9%`

`=11 1/9%`
