उत्तर

Let the initial value of the business be ₹ 100.

Original rate of commission = 4%.

∴ The original income of the agent = `100 xx 4/100` = ₹ 4

Let the new value of the business be ₹ x

New rate of commission = 5%

∴ New income of the agent = `x xx 5/100 = (5x)/100`

However, it is given that the original income and new income of agent is the same.

∴ 4 = `(5x)/100`

∴ 5x = 400

∴ x = 80

∴ New value of business is ₹ 80.

Reduction in business

`= ("Old value" - "New value")/"Old value" xx 100`

`= (100 - 80)/100 xx 100`

= 20 %

There is 20% reduction in the value of the business.

Three cars were sold through an agent for ₹ 2,40,000, ₹ 2,22,000 and ₹ 2,25,000 respectively. The rates of commission were 17.5% on the first, 12.5% on the second. If the agent overall received 14% commission on the total sales, find the rate of commission paid on the third car.

Solution: Total selling Price of three cars = 2,40,000 + 2,22,000 + 2,25,000

= `square`

Commision on total sale = 14%

= `14/100 xx square`

Selling price of First car = ₹ 2,40,000

Rate of commission = 17.5% 

= `17.5/100 xx 2,40,000 = square`

∴ Commission on first car = ₹ `square`

Selling price of Second car = ₹ 2,22,000

Rate of commission = 12.5%

= `12.5/100 xx 2,22,000 = square`

∴ Commission on second car = ₹ `square`

Selling price of third car = ₹ 2,25,000

Let the rate of commission be x

Commission on third car = `x/100 xx 2,25,000`

∴ Commission on third car = Total commission − (commission on first car + commission on second car)

∴ `x/100 xx 2,25,000 = square - {square + square}`

∴ x = `square`
