A) 1 : 2
B) 4 : 5
C) 3 : 4
D) 7 : 4
E) None of these
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Explanation Let there are a pens and b pencils. Also let C.P of one pen \[= x \Rightarrow \,\, C.P\] of a pens = ax then C.P of one pencil \[2x \Rightarrow C.P\] of b pencils = 2bx S.P. of one pen \[= \,2x \Rightarrow \,\, S.P.\] of a pens = 2ax S.P of one pencil \[= \,6x \Rightarrow \, S.P.\] of b pencils = 6bx Now, \[\frac{S.P-C.P}{C.P}\times 100=\Pr ofit\,%\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\left( 2ax + 6bx \right)\frac{-(ax+2bx)}{ax+2bx}=\frac{150}{100}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\frac{a+4b}{a+2b}=\frac{3}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,2a + 8b = 3a + 6b\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,8b - 6b = 3a-2a\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,2b=a\,\,\Rightarrow \,\frac{b}{a}=\frac{1}{2}\]You need to login to perform this action.
