Answer / muhammad aamir siddiq

Ok I have seen many Answers but none of them seem correct.

Heres the real way to solve this data sufficiency problem:

We don't need to consider the cost price at all. It is already clued in the question.

1st Part
When we earn 25% profit by offering 25% discount it means:

Selling price before 25% discount=$100
Selling price after 25% discount= $75
So we come to know( as its mentioned in the question) that when we sell certain item with 25% discount or $75 we will get 25% profit.

2nd Part
Now if we give 10% discount then selling price after 10% discount = $90
How much profit will we get when we'll sell an item for $90?
So we need to find the profit by this basic cross multiplication method:

75---25
90---x

75x= 25*90/75= 30

So our profit will be 30%

Answer / shekhar

50%

Answer / vasu

if we consider cost price as 100,they made 25%profit with
25%dis. means if they sold at 125 to customer with 25%
discount.It means its MRP is 500/3 i.e.

100---75
x----125

so x=500/3 and 10% of it is 50/3 means 500/3-50/3=150
so profit is 50%

Answer / varun

Answer / ashish

let take 1oo rs prise. shop keeppe's cost prise is 6o rs.
if he give only 10% dis. it means he had inccuared a profit
of 30 rs which is 50% of his cost prise. so answer is 50%.

Answer / venky

suppose 100 be the amount....he got 25% profit that means
125...now he gave disount 25% that means 125*.75 is the
actual price that is 166.66667
now given10% discount that means 166.66-16.66=150
so he gets a profit of 50
which is 50%
simple sense the profit will increase if we reduce discount

Answer / m.r.subramanya sastry

I
Consider Rs 100 as marked price.
Selling price SP with 25% discount is 100-25=75Rs
SP with 10% discount is Rs90
II Finding Cost price CP
If 100Rs is CP and profit is 25% the SP=125Rs
for 25% profit: if sp is 125Rs CPis 100Rs
Sp is 75Rs CP is = (100x75)/125
=Rs60

Now the Profit with 10% discount=SP-CP
=90-60=30Rs
% Profit= (Profit/CP)100
=(30/60)100= 50%

Answer / himanshu

let the market price be x.
and discount given on market price be 25%
therefore, s.p = 75% of x

but it is given ,
75%of x=25%
>>> x=1/3

now, 10% discount on market price.

therefore.s.p.=90%
90% of x=y%(as let new profit % be y%)
90/100 *1/3=y/100
==>>y=30%

Answer / akshay bhan

let c.p =100,so 25% profit s.p.=125
now let
m.p =100,so 25 %discount s.p=75
now in terms of proportions
C.P S.P. M.P.
100 125 x
75 100
find x
x=125*100/75=166.6666
M.P.=166.666
no reducing 10% would give us S.P.=166.666-16.6666=150

new S.P. =150
C.P.=100
profit=150-100/100=50%
correct me where i'm wrong

Two trains 200 miles apart are traveling toward each other along the same track. Two trains have the same speed 100MPH. A bee is hovering just above the nose of the first train. It buzzes from the first train to the second train, turns around immediately, flies back to the first train, and turns around again. It goes on flying back and forth between the two trains until they collide. If the bee's speed is twice the speed of two trains, how far will it travel?
