Question #1
A manufacturer sells to a wholesaler at a profit of 10%. The wholesaler sells to a dealer at a profit of 20%. The dealer sells to a retailer at a profit of 15%. If the retailer paid Rs. 30360, what was the manufacturer's cost?
A. Rs. 25000
B. Rs. 24000
C. Rs. 22000
D. Rs. 20000

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Let cost be x. x * 1.1 * 1.2 * 1.15 = 30360. x * 1.518 = 30360. x = 30360 / 1.518 = 20000.

Question #2
A man sells a watch at a loss of 5%. If he had sold it for Rs. 100 more, he would have gained 10%. Find the cost price of the watch.
A. Rs. 600
B. Rs. 500
C. Rs. 700
D. Rs. 800

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Let CP = x. Loss 5% => SP1 = 0.95x. If sold at gain 10%, SP2 = 1.1x. Given 1.1x - 0.95x = 100 => 0.15x = 100 => x = 100/0.15 = 666.67, not in options. Wait, recalc: Difference = 15% of CP = 100 => CP = 100/0.15 = 666.67. But options are whole. Perhaps 500? Test: 0.15*500=75 not 100. 700 gives 105, close. But exact not in options. Let's adjust: maybe the gain would have been 10% more? Actually the problem says: if sold for Rs. 100 more, he would have gained 10% instead of loss 5%. The difference in percentage points is 15%, so 15% of CP = 100 => CP = 666.67. Not an option. So this question is flawed. I'll delete and regenerate another easy question.
