According to questions
X * 20/100 – (20,000 – x) * 10/100 = 20, 000 * 2/100
x = 8,000
2. (a) Let CP of A be x Rs
According to questions
115x/100 * 90/100 = 517.5
x = 500
3. (c) Let CP = 100
2/3 SP = 90
SP = 135
P% = 35%
4. (c)

1 kg = 90
9. (d) Le income of Ram = x
So, x = 94/100 * 90/100 = 8640
x = 10, 000
10. (a) 10 – 10 – (10 * 10)/ 100
