Problem 4

To find the profit or loss as a percentage, we need to calculate the cost price and the selling price of the apples.

The cost price of 5 apples is Rs. 150, so the cost price of 1 apple is:

  • Rs. 150/5 = Rs. 30

The selling price of 6 apples is Rs. 225, so the selling price of 1 apple is:

  • Rs. 225/6 = Rs. 37.50

Profit or loss is:

  • (Selling Price - Cost Price) = (Rs. 37.50 - Rs. 30) = Rs. 7.50

Profit or loss percentage is:

  • (Profit or loss / Cost Price) * 100 = (7.50 / 30) * 100 = 25%

Therefore, there is a 25% profit in selling the apples.

Problem 5

Profit or loss is:

  • (Selling Price - Cost Price) = (Rs. 3800 - Rs. 4000) = - Rs. 200  (negative indicates a loss)

Loss percentage is:

  • (Profit or loss / Cost Price) * 100 = (200 / 4000) * 100 = 5%  

Therefore, there is a 5% loss in selling an article.
