A sample question from this test
A shopkeeper buys an article for ₹292 and sells it at a gain of 20%. Find the selling price.
- 420.48
- 350.40
- 385.44

Answer: B. 350.40. SP = CP × (100 + gain%) ÷ 100 = 292 × 120 ÷ 100 = ₹350.40.
How to approach this test
Profit and loss percentages are always on the cost price, and a discount is always on the marked price. Write which one each number refers to before you start.
This set mixes straightforward questions with a few that need an extra step, so it works well as a checkpoint once the basics are comfortable. At 30 questions in 45 minutes, you have about 90 seconds per question on average. After you submit, review every wrong or guessed answer using the explanations.
