IPMAT Indore 2022 - QA (SA) Q6 Explanation
December 26, 2024
Explanation:
(50)
| Category | Unit Price of Apples (Rs./kg) | Quantity of Apples (kg) | Unit Price of Mangoes (Rs./kg) | Quantity of Mangoes (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CP | 20 | A | 25 | M |
| SP (1) | 22 | A | 20 | M |
| SP (2) | 16 | A | 27.5 | M |
In first case, there is no profit or loss, means
Total SP = Total CP
22A + 20M = 20A +25M
A:M = 5:2
Let A = 5x & M= 2x
In second there is a loss of Rs.150
Total CP – Total SP = Rs.150
20A + 25M – (16A +27.5M) = Rs.150
4A-2.5M=150
20x-5x=150
x = Rs.10
Number of apples purchased, A = 5x = 50.
