Solution by Ahmad hassan :
Actually, the question is this.
If a person sells his car in 50000 rupees and got 17% profit. What will be the profit in percentage if he sold this car in 47000 rupees?
Solution
Profit = 17 %
Sp of car = Rs 50000
Cp = sp/1 + .profit percentage
Cp = 50000/1+.17
Cp= 50000/1.17= Rs 42735.04
Now he wants to sell at Rs 47000
New sp = Rs 47000
Profit sp-cp = 47000-42735.04 = Rs 4264.96
Profit % = profitx100/cp
Profit % = 4264.96×100/42735.04 = 9.98 %
New profit % = 9.98

Solution by Vicky :
total sold price with 17% profit =50,000 (Including 17% profit)
now lets break this 50,000
50,000=X(original cost of car)+0.17x(17% profit) :- x is supposed cars original price
50,000=x+0.17x
x=50,000/1.17 (By taking x common)
x=42,735 (which is Original cost of car)
now again his is selling his damn car at Rs 47,000, that means his profit this time will be
47,000-42,735(original amount of car we just calculated above)=4265 (profit this time)
now calculate the percentage of this above calculated Profit with simple formula
4265/42735*100= 9.98% (Answer) cheers

Answers are wrong
when i solved this question then answer will get 11.7% .
50000/117*100 =42,735
47000-42,735=4265
4265*100/42,735=9.98

Plz ise brief kren
Car Sold for Rs.50000 and there is included 17% Profit also. Therefore first we need to find the separate amount of Profit
=50000*17/117
= 7265 is Profit (That is included in Amount of Sales Rs 50000/-)
As we know that
Cost Price + Profit = Sales
Cost+7265=50000
Cost = 50000-7265 =Rs.42735
New Sales Price is Rs.47000
Sales – Cost = Profit
47000-42735=4265
profit in % =4265/42735*100
=9.98% (Answer)
why yuo divide 5000*17/117
yes
Firt of all to find the orignal price of car where he got 17 percent profit 17 percent profit mean he got 8500 profit from 50000.now subtract the 8500 from 50000 it become 41500 the car orignal price is 41500 ..now he is selling the car for 47000.subtract the 41500 from 47000 it become 5500 that is the profit of 47000 selling …now divid the 5500 to 47000 we will got 11.7 percent answer is 11.7
50000*17/100=8500 profit
Sales – profit = cost price
50000 – 8500 = 41500 cost price,
I I want to sale 47000
New sale price – cost price = profit
47000 – 41500 = 5500
5500 * 100 / cost price
5500 * 100 / 41500 = 13.25 % is answer….
wrong ..
Exactly my calculation. He may have misunderstanding on whether to divide it by 117 or 100. As per percentage it should be divided by 100
bhai profit kasy nikala ap ny
profit = value * persentange /100 ya hota profit ka formula
very nice
Ali Shan
17/100*50000=8500
50000*17/100=8500 profit
47000*17/100=7990 profit
ALI SHAN, ARE U CHARSI? 17 % MEANS 17/100 NOT 17/117
=50000*17/117, with due respect it is not true. true answer is = 50000*17/100 = 8500
let us suppose x is the original price of the the car.
then
x + 0.17x = 50000
or
x( 1 + 0.17 ) = 50000
or
x ( 1.17 ) = 50000
or x = 50000 / 1.17
now x + y% of x = 47000
or
x ( 1 + y% ) = 47000
or
( 1 + y% ) = 47000 / x
or
( 1 + y% ) = ( 47000 * 1.17 ) / 50000
or
( 1 + y% ) = ( 47 * 1.17 ) / 50
the answer to the multiplication of 47*1.17 = 54.99 which is approx 55
so
( 1 + y% ) = 55/50
or
( 1 + y% ) = 1.1
y% = 1.1 – 1
y% = 0.1
y = 10%
now due to the approx value we took the result nearest to 10% is 9.98% which is the correct answer.
hope you understand
thank u
If the original price is 41500 and we sold it for 47000 according to second case,then 10 pc of 41500 is already equal to 4150 and we have a profit of 5500,so 5500 is more than 4150,so the answer can never be less than or equal to 10 pc
Great…
What is this method called…?
I think this is a Ratio Proportion question…
i.e.
=> 50,000 : 17 : : 47,000 : x
=> 50,000 x = 47,000 * 17
=> x = 47,000 * 17 / 50,000
=> x = 15.98 %
Isn’t this a right way…?
50000*17/117
Why u divided it by 117
Explain plz
Because 17% is included in the original amount
because profit is included in 50000
=50000*17/117 sir why 17/117
17% means 17/100 hota hy please expalin…
formula is selling price * 100 and divided by 100+17 because of 17 % profit we gain but we don’t know that what is actual cost price… ok
asal ma iss question ma jo actual cost hai us k sath plus ma profit dono ek sath deye hai or hum usko 17/100 consider nhi kersakte q k unho ne question ju sold value de hai wo 17 percent actual cost se zyada kaha hai tu ab wo 100 percent nhi rahi bulke 100 percnt + 17 percent=117 % ab total 117% se 50000 ka 17% nikale ge ….. iss ma swal smjha zarori hai k aya wo kis tareeqe se kya mang raha hai . 50000*17/117=7264.96
Here is most important thing is that how to understand question??
Answer is wrong 13.25% is correct i think
11% is correct answer in my calculations…
answer is 13.2%
Right answer is 11.7 i am agree with #Engineer
kindly request to pak mcqs admin please give appropraite answer of this question please because we got answer
11 something
sorry i take my words back i solved this and i got 9.98 ans finally sorry again.
Let suppose x is the cost price of car so,
X+0.17x=50000
1.17x=50000
X=50000/1.17
X=42735.04
If car is sold on price 47000
The profit would be,
47000-42732.04=4264.96
So,
47000X/100=4265.96
9.07%
Actually, the question is this.
If a person sells his car in 50000 rupees and got 17% profit. What will be the profit in percentage if he sold this car in 47000 rupees?
Solution
Profit = 17 %
Sp of car = Rs 50000
Cp = sp/1 + .profit percentage
Cp = 50000/1+.17
Cp= 50000/1.17= Rs 42735.04
Now he wants to sell at Rs 47000
New sp = Rs 47000
Profit sp-cp = 47000-42735.04 = Rs 4264.96
Profit % = profitx100/cp
Profit % = 4264.96×100/42735.04 = 9.98 %
New profit % = 9.98
If sold for Rs. 50,000 Profit = 17%
If sold for Rs. 47,000 =>
17%
50000
* 47000
= 15.98%
First we need to find the original price for which he got 17% profit.
17/100×50000=8500
50000-8500=41500 original price
Now: 47000-41500=5500
5500/41500*100=13.25%
13.25 is right answer
there are two types of profit..one on cost price and one on sale price…if sale price is given then u must divide it by 117..and if cost price is given then go for 100. here it is sale price there fore it should be 117
bahi ek seedi bat hai ky .. aga ny car ko 50000 ma bycha to profit 17 % aya na ky 50000 ky sath 17% profit aya hai ,,, agr 50000 ky sath 17% profit aya hai to 50000 us ky cost prize ho jati hai.
question khalit hai ….
Guys stop fighting, let me clarify and break down this bullshit for you.
total sold price with 17% profit =50,000 (Including 17% profit)
now lets break this 50,000
50,000=X(original cost of car)+0.17x(17% profit) :- x is supposed cars original price
50,000=x+0.17x
x=50,000/1.17 (By taking x common)
x=42,735 (which is Original cost of car)
now again his is selling his damn car at Rs 47,000, that means his profit this time will be
47,000-42,735(original amount of car we just calculated above)=4265 (profit this time)
now calculate the percentage of this above calculated Profit with simple formula
4265/42735*100=9.98% (Answer) cheers
its exact method
if a person sell his car in 50000 rupees and got 17% profit.what will be the profit in percentage if he he sold this car in 47000 rupees
solution
profit =17 %
sp of car = Rs 50000
cp =sp/1+.profit percentage
cp 50000/1+.17
cp= 50000/1.17= Rs 42735.04
now he wants to sell at Rs 47000
new sp= Rs 47000
profit sp-cp =47000-42735.04= Rs 4264.96
profit %= profitx100/cp
profit%=4264.96×100/42735.04=9.98 %
new profit %=9.98
13.25% is a correct answer
can any one tell me the authentic site to prepare ???
(Sale price-original price)/ original price=profit%
Using above equation
(50000-x)/x=.17
Original price=x=42735
Now
(47000-42735)/42735=9.98%
50000×17÷100= 8500
47×17÷100= 7990 Ans
what is the answer in percentage
the question is not fully described. is the profit charged on selling price or on cost? therefore, there is a misunderstanding.
Please explain is ma hum na 17 ko 117 sa Kun divide kiya ha 100 ki bajae
9.98
50000/117% = 427.35x 100 = 42375 is actual cost of the car now minus 47000-42375= 4265 is the Total profit 4265/427.35= 9.98%
wrong dear if profit is included in sales than base should be 100%
Sell price-cost price÷ cost price and then multiply by 100…..
So answer is 13.25
This question is wrong.
Because if car is sold for 50000, and the profit is 17% . So the original price is 41500. But 17% of original price is 7055 . 41500+7055=48555.
If sols 17/50=0.34
0.34×47=15.98
50000×17÷100=8500
50000+8500-47000=11500
in percentage 11.5%
How to 9.98 ans???
