1. The market value of the share is 25% more than the face value and 10% more than the selling price. Find the profit percent on selling the share.
a) 13.63%
b) 16.72%
c) 19.98%
d) 21.21%
View Answer
Explanation: Let the face value of the share be 100.
The market value of the share = 100 + 25% of 100 = 100 + 25 = 125
The market value is 10% more than the selling price.
The selling price = 125 / 110 * 100 = 113.63
The profit = 113.63 – 100 = 13.63
The profit percentage = 13.63 / 100 * 100 = 13.63% profit.
2. The market value of a share is 25% of the face value and 10% less than the selling price. Find the profit or loss percentage.

b) 72.23% profit
c) 27.32% profit
d) 27.32% loss
View Answer
Explanation: Let the face value be 100.
The market value = 25% of the face value = 25% of 100 = 25
The market value is 10% less than the selling price.
The selling price = 25 / 90 * 100 = 27.77
The profit or loss = 27.77 – 100 = – 72.23 = 72.23 loss.

c) 80
d) 88
View Answer
Explanation: The selling price = 108 rupees
The loss = 46%
54% of the face value = 108 rupees
100% of the face value = 108 / 54 * 100 = 200 rupees
The market value is 36% of the face value = 36% of 200 = 72
4. The market value of a share is 65 / 7th of the profit. If the face value of the share is 850 and the profit is 33%, find the profit.

5. The market value of the share is 50% more than the face value and 20% more than the selling price. Find the profit percent on selling the share.
a) 25%
b) 35%
c) 40%

View Answer
Explanation: Let the face value of the share be 100.
The market value of the share = 100 + 50% of 100 = 100 + 50 = 150
The market value is 50% more than the selling price.
The selling price = 150 / 120 * 100 = 125
The profit = 125 – 100 = 25
The profit percentage = 25 / 100 * 100 = 25% profit.

d) 63.63% loss
View Answer
Explanation: Let the face value be 100.
The market value = 35% of the face value = 35% of 100 = 35
The market value is 45% less than the selling price.
The selling price = 35 / 55 * 100 = 63.63
The profit or loss = 63.63 – 100 = – 36.36 = 36.36 loss.
7. The selling price of a share is 985 rupees. If the market value is 97% of the face value and the loss is 1.5%, find the market value.
a) 970
b) 960
c) 950
d) 940
View Answer
Explanation: The selling price = 985 rupees
The loss = 1.5%
98.5% of the face value = 985 rupees
100% of the face value = 985 / 98.5 * 100 = 1000 rupees
The market value is 97% of the face value = 97% of 1000 = 970
8. The market value of the share is 125% more than the face value and 35% more than the selling price. Find the profit percent on selling the share.

b) 33.33%
c) 66.66%
d) 90.90%
View Answer
Explanation: Let the face value of the share be 100.
The market value of the share = 100 + 125% of 100 = 100 + 125 = 225
The market value is 35% more than the selling price.
The selling price = 225 / 135 * 100 = 166.66
The profit = 166.66 – 100 = 66.66
The profit percentage = 66.66 / 100 * 100 = 66.66% profit.
9. The market value of a share is 95% of the face value and 81% less than the selling price. Find the profit or loss percentage.

View Answer
Explanation: Let the face value be 100.
The market value = 95% of the face value = 95% of 100 = 95
The market value is 81% less than the selling price.
The selling price = 95 / 19 * 100 = 500
The profit or loss = 500 – 100 = 400 profit
The profit percentage = 400 / 100 * 100 = 400%
10. The selling price of a share is 1250 rupees. If the market value is 62.5% of the face value and the loss is 75%, find the market value.

View Answer
Explanation: The selling price = 1250 rupees
The loss = 75%
25% of the face value = 1250 rupees
100% of the face value = 1250 / 25 * 100 = 5000 rupees
The market value is 62.5% of the face value = 62.5% of 5000 = 3125
