 🧮 RRB NTPC Maths Question with Solution


1)Yashika buys 6 apples and 6 mangoes for ₹216. When the cost of an apple is decreased by 30% and that of a mango remains the same, then the cost of 5 apples and 8 mangoes is ₹162. What is the original cost of 7 apples and 2 mangoes?

ಯಾಶಿಕಾ 6 ಸೇಬು ಮತ್ತು 6 ಮಾವಿನ ಹಣ್ಣುಗಳನ್ನು ₹216 ಕ್ಕೆ ಖರೀದಿಸುತ್ತಾಳೆ. ಒಂದು ಸೇಬಿನ ಬೆಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ 30% ರಷ್ಟು ಇಳಿಕೆಯಾಗಿ ಮಾವಿನ ಬೆಲೆ ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಉಳಿದರೆ, 5 ಸೇಬು ಮತ್ತು 8 ಮಾವಿನ ಹಣ್ಣುಗಳ ಬೆಲೆ ₹162 ಆಗುತ್ತದೆ. 7 ಸೇಬು ಮತ್ತು 2 ಮಾವಿನ ಹಣ್ಣುಗಳ ಮೂಲ ಬೆಲೆ ಎಷ್ಟು?


✏️ Solution:

Let the original cost of:

  • 1 apple = ₹A

  • 1 mango = ₹M


✅ Step 1: Form the First Equation

6 apples + 6 mangoes = ₹216

6A + 6M = 216

Divide both sides by 6:

A + M = 36 → (Equation 1)


✅ Step 2: Form the Second Equation

Apple price decreased by 30%

New apple price = 70% of A
= 0.7A

According to the question:

5 apples + 8 mangoes = ₹162

5(0.7A) + 8M = 162

3.5A + 8M = 162 → (Equation 2)


✅ Step 3: Solve the Equations

From Equation 1:

A = 36 − M

Substitute in Equation 2:

3.5(36 − M) + 8M = 162

126 − 3.5M + 8M = 162

126 + 4.5M = 162

4.5M = 36

M = 8

Now substitute in Equation 1:

A + 8 = 36

A = 28


✅ Step 4: Find Required Value

Original cost of 7 apples and 2 mangoes:

7A + 2M
= 7(28) + 2(8)
= 196 + 16
= ₹212


🎯 Final Answer: ₹212



2)ಗೌರವ್ ಮೊದಲ ಪೆನ್ನು ₹444 ಕ್ಕೆ ಮತ್ತು ಎರಡನೇ ಪೆನ್ನು ₹356 ಕ್ಕೆ ಖರೀದಿಸಿದರು. ಅವರು ಮೊದಲ ಪೆನ್ನು ಲಾಭದ 75% ಗೆ ಮಾರಾಟ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ ಆದರೆ ಖರೀದಿದಾರ ಬೆಲೆಗೆ ಚೌಕಾಶಿ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ, ಮತ್ತು ಅವರು 14% ರಿಯಾಯಿತಿಯನ್ನು ಮತ್ತು ಎರಡನೇ ಪೆನ್ನು ಲಾಭದ 48% ಗೆ ನೀಡಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಈ ವಹಿವಾಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರು ಪಡೆದ ಒಟ್ಟು ಲಾಭವನ್ನು ಕಂಡುಹಿಡಿಯಿರಿ (ಎರಡು ದಶಮಾಂಶ ಸ್ಥಾನಗಳಿಗೆ ಸರಿಯಾಗಿ).

Gaurav bought the first pen for ₹444 and the second pen for ₹356, respectively. He sells the first pen at 75% of the profit but the buyer bargains for the price, and he has to offer a 14% discount and the second pen at 48% of the profit. Find the total profit he had in this transaction (correct to two decimal places).

A) ₹396.11 

B) ₹399.02 

C) ₹394.67 

D) ₹395.10 



🟢 Given:

Cost price (CP) of first pen = ₹444
Cost price (CP) of second pen = ₹356


✏️ First Pen

He sells at 75% profit

Step 1: Calculate Marked Price (MP)

Profit = 75% of 444

= 0.75 × 444
= 333

Marked Price = 444 + 333
= ₹777


Step 2: 14% Discount on MP

Discount = 14% of 777

= 0.14 × 777
= 108.78

Selling Price (SP₁) = 777 − 108.78
= ₹668.22


Step 3: Profit on First Pen

Profit₁ = 668.22 − 444
= ₹224.22


✏️ Second Pen

Sold at 48% profit

Profit = 48% of 356

= 0.48 × 356
= 170.88

Selling Price (SP₂) = 356 + 170.88
= ₹526.88


Profit on Second Pen

Profit₂ = ₹170.88


✅ Total Profit

Total Profit = 224.22 + 170.88

= ₹395.10

🎯 Correct Answer: D) ₹395.10


3)ಗೋವಿಂದ್ ಒಟ್ಟು ₹4,800 ಬೆಲೆಗೆ ಎರಡು ವಸ್ತುಗಳನ್ನು ಖರೀದಿಸಿದರು. ಅವರು ಒಂದು ವಸ್ತುವನ್ನು 34% ಲಾಭಕ್ಕೆ ಮತ್ತು ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ವಸ್ತುವನ್ನು 10% ನಷ್ಟಕ್ಕೆ ಮಾರಿದರು.ಗೋವಿಂದರು ಎರಡೂ ವಸ್ತುಗಳನ್ನು ಒಟ್ಟಿಗೆ ₹5,442 ಕ್ಕೆ ಮಾರಾಟ ಮಾಡಿದರೆ, ಎರಡೂ ವಸ್ತುಗಳ ವೆಚ್ಚದ ಬೆಲೆ (₹ ನಲ್ಲಿ) ನಡುವಿನ ವ್ಯತ್ಯಾಸವೇನು?

Govind bought two items at a total cost of ₹4,800. He sold one item at 34% profit and the other at 10% loss. If
Govind sold both the items together for ₹5,442, then what is the difference between the cost price (in ₹) of both
the items?

ಎ) 350
ಬಿ) 300
ಸಿ) 275
ಡಿ) 325

17/06/2025 ಶಿಫ್ಟ್ -2

Let’s solve it step-by-step.


🟢 Given:

Total Cost Price (CP) of two items = ₹4800
Total Selling Price (SP) = ₹5442

One item sold at 34% profit
Other item sold at 10% loss


✏️ Step 1: Assume

Let CP of first item = ₹x
Then CP of second item = ₹(4800 − x)


✏️ Step 2: Form Selling Price equation

First item sold at 34% profit:

SP₁ = 1.34x

Second item sold at 10% loss:

SP₂ = 0.90(4800 − x)


Total SP:

1.34x + 0.90(4800 − x) = 5442


✏️ Step 3: Solve equation

1.34x + 4320 − 0.90x = 5442

0.44x + 4320 = 5442

0.44x = 1122

x = 1122 / 0.44

x = 2550


✏️ Step 4: Find other CP

Second item CP = 4800 − 2550

= 2250


✏️ Step 5: Find Difference

Difference = 2550 − 2250

= ₹300

🎯 Correct Answer: B) ₹300


4)If the selling price of a bed is 2-times of initial, then the profit is 8-times of initial. Find the initial profit percentage(in %).

ಹಾಸಿಗೆಯ ಮಾರಾಟದ ಬೆಲೆ ಆರಂಭಿಕ ಬೆಲೆಯ 2 ಪಟ್ಟು ಇದ್ದರೆ, ಲಾಭವು ಆರಂಭಿಕ ಬೆಲೆಯ 8 ಪಟ್ಟು ಇರುತ್ತದೆ. ಆರಂಭಿಕ ಲಾಭದ ಶೇಕಡಾವಾರು ಪ್ರಮಾಣವನ್ನು (% ನಲ್ಲಿ) ಕಂಡುಹಿಡಿಯಿರಿ.

ಎ) 300
ಬಿ) 400
ಸಿ) 25
ಡಿ) 16.67

19/06/2025 ಶಿಫ್ಟ್-3

Let’s solve it clearly step-by-step.


🟢 Assume

Let initial cost price (CP) = ₹x

Let initial profit = ₹p

So,

Initial Selling Price (SP₁) = x + p


🟢 According to Question

New Selling Price (SP₂) = 2 × (initial SP)
= 2(x + p)

New Profit = 8 × (initial profit)
= 8p

But,

New Profit = SP₂ − CP

So,

2(x + p) − x = 8p


🟢 Solve the Equation

2x + 2p − x = 8p

x + 2p = 8p

x = 6p

So,

p = x / 6


🟢 Find Initial Profit %

Initial Profit % = (Profit / CP) × 100

= (x/6 ÷ x) × 100

= (1/6) × 100

= 16.67%

🎯 Correct Answer: D) 16.67%



5)ಹಾಸಿಗೆಯ ನಿಗದಿತ ಬೆಲೆ ₹744 ಆಗಿದ್ದು, ಇದು ವೆಚ್ಚದ ಬೆಲೆಗಿಂತ 31% ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿದೆ. ಲಾಭದ ಶೇಕಡಾವಾರು 9% ಆಗಿದ್ದರೆ, ರಿಯಾಯಿತಿ ಶೇಕಡಾವಾರು ಕಂಡುಹಿಡಿಯಿರಿ. (ಎರಡು ದಶಮಾಂಶ ಸ್ಥಾನಗಳಿಗೆ ಪೂರ್ಣಾಂಕಗೊಳಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ)
The marked price of a bed is ₹744, which is 31% above the cost price. If the profit percentage is 9%. Find the discount percentage. (rounded off to two decimal places)

ಎ) 15.52%
ಬಿ) 18.65%
ಸಿ) 14.59%
ಡಿ) 16.79%

10/06/2025 ಶಿಫ್ಟ್-1

Let’s solve it step by step.


🟢 Step 1: Let Cost Price (CP) = ₹x

Marked Price (MP) is 31% above CP

So,

MP = 1.31x


🟢 Step 2: Given MP = ₹744

1.31x = 744

x = 744 / 1.31

x = 568.70 (approx.)

So, CP = ₹568.70


🟢 Step 3: Profit is 9%

Selling Price (SP) = 1.09x

= 1.09 × 568.70

= ₹619.88 (approx.)


🟢 Step 4: Find Discount

Discount = MP − SP

= 744 − 619.88

= ₹124.12


🟢 Step 5: Discount %

Discount % = (Discount / MP) × 100

= (124.12 / 744) × 100

= 16.68% (approx.)

🎯 Final Answer: 16.68%


6)ಒಬ್ಬ ಮಾರಾಟಗಾರ 42 ಲ್ಯಾಪ್‌ಟಾಪ್ ಬ್ಯಾಗ್‌ಗಳನ್ನು ₹41,622 ಕ್ಕೆ ಖರೀದಿಸಿ 35 ಕ್ಕೆ ₹37,345 ಕ್ಕೆ ಮಾರಾಟ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾನೆ. ₹3,952 ಲಾಭ ಗಳಿಸಲು ಎಷ್ಟು ಲ್ಯಾಪ್‌ಟಾಪ್ ಬ್ಯಾಗ್‌ಗಳನ್ನು ಖರೀದಿಸಿ ಮಾರಾಟ ಮಾಡಬೇಕು?

 A vendor buys 42 laptop bags for ₹41,622 and sells them at 35 for ₹37,345. How many laptop bags should be bought and sold to earn a profit of ₹3,952?

ಎ) 52

ಬಿ) 16

ಸಿ) 34

ಡಿ) 76

12/06/2025 ಶಿಫ್ಟ್-2


Let’s solve it step-by-step.


🟢 Step 1: Let Cost Price (CP) = ₹x

Marked Price (MP) is 34% above CP

So,

MP = 1.34x

Given MP = ₹578

1.34x = 578

x = 578 / 1.34

x = 431.34 (approx.)

So, CP ≈ ₹431.34


🟢 Step 2: Profit is 10%

Selling Price (SP) = 1.10x

= 1.10 × 431.34

= ₹474.47 (approx.)


🟢 Step 3: Find Discount

Discount = MP − SP

= 578 − 474.47

= ₹103.53


🟢 Step 4: Discount Percentage

Discount % = (Discount / MP) × 100

= (103.53 / 578) × 100

= 17.91% (approx.)

🎯 Final Answer: 17.91%


7)ಒಬ್ಬ ಡೀಲರ್ ಎರಡು ಡ್ರೈಯರ್‌ಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿ ಡ್ರೈಯರ್‌ಗೆ ₹63,000 ದರದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾರಾಟ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಒಂದರಲ್ಲಿ, ಅವನು 5% ಲಾಭ ಗಳಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ ಮತ್ತು ಇನ್ನೊಂದರಲ್ಲಿ ಅವನು 30% ನಷ್ಟು ಕಳೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಇಡೀ ವಹಿವಾಟಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಅವನ ನಷ್ಟದ ಶೇಕಡಾವಾರು ಎಷ್ಟು?

A dealer sells two dryers at the rate of ₹63,000 per dryer. On one, he earns a profit of 5% and on the other he loses 30%. What is his loss percentage in the whole transaction?

ಎ) 14%

ಬಿ) 17%

ಸಿ) 15%

ಡಿ) 16%

05/06/2025 ಶಿಫ್ಟ್-1


Let’s solve it carefully step-by-step.


🟢 Given:

Selling Price (SP) of each dryer = ₹63,000

On first dryer → 5% profit
On second dryer → 30% loss


✏️ Step 1: Find Cost Price of Each Dryer

🔹 First Dryer (5% Profit)

SP = 1.05 × CP

63000 = 1.05 × CP₁

CP₁ = 63000 / 1.05

CP₁ = ₹60,000


🔹 Second Dryer (30% Loss)

SP = 0.70 × CP

63000 = 0.70 × CP₂

CP₂ = 63000 / 0.70

CP₂ = ₹90,000


✏️ Step 2: Total Cost Price & Total Selling Price

Total CP = 60000 + 90000
= ₹1,50,000

Total SP = 63000 + 63000
= ₹1,26,000


✏️ Step 3: Net Loss

Loss = 150000 − 126000
= ₹24,000


✏️ Step 4: Loss Percentage

Loss % = (24000 / 150000) × 100

= 16%

🎯 Correct Answer: D) 16%


8)ತಯಾರಕರು 10% ಲಾಭ ಗಳಿಸಿದರೆ, ಸಗಟು ವ್ಯಾಪಾರಿ 15% ಮತ್ತು ಚಿಲ್ಲರೆ ವ್ಯಾಪಾರಿ 28% ಲಾಭ ಗಳಿಸಿದರೆ, ಗ್ರಾಹಕರ ಚಿಲ್ಲರೆ ಬೆಲೆ ₹75,900 ಆಗಿರುವ ಟೇಬಲ್‌ನ ಉತ್ಪಾದನಾ ವೆಚ್ಚವನ್ನು (₹ ನಲ್ಲಿ) ಕಂಡುಹಿಡಿಯಿರಿ. (ಗಮನಿಸಿ: ತಯಾರಕರು ಸಗಟು ವ್ಯಾಪಾರಿಗೆ ಮಾರಾಟ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ, ಸಗಟು ವ್ಯಾಪಾರಿ ಚಿಲ್ಲರೆ ವ್ಯಾಪಾರಿಗೆ ಮಾರಾಟ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ ಮತ್ತು ಚಿಲ್ಲರೆ ವ್ಯಾಪಾರಿ ಗ್ರಾಹಕರಿಗೆ ಮಾರಾಟ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ.)

If the manufacturer gains 10%, the wholesaler gains 15%, and the retailer gains 28%, then find the cost of production of a table (in ₹), whose retail price for the customer is ₹75,900. (NOTE: Manufacturer sells to wholesaler, wholesaler sells to retailer and retailer sells to customers.)

ಎ) 60,000

ಬಿ) 53,906.25

ಸಿ) 46,875

ಡಿ) 51,562.5

16/06/2025 ಶಿಫ್ಟ್-3

Let’s solve it step by step (working backwards from retail price).


🟢 Given:

Retail Price (final price to customer) = ₹75,900

Profits:

  • Retailer = 28%

  • Wholesaler = 15%

  • Manufacturer = 10%


✏️ Step 1: Remove Retailer’s Profit (28%)

Retailer sells at 28% profit.

So,

Retail Price = 1.28 × Cost to Retailer

Cost to Retailer = 75900 / 1.28

= ₹59,296.875


✏️ Step 2: Remove Wholesaler’s Profit (15%)

Wholesaler sells at 15% profit.

Cost to Retailer = 1.15 × Cost to Wholesaler

Cost to Wholesaler = 59296.875 / 1.15

= ₹51,562.50


✏️ Step 3: Remove Manufacturer’s Profit (10%)

Manufacturer sells at 10% profit.

Cost to Wholesaler = 1.10 × Cost of Production

Cost of Production = 51562.50 / 1.10

= ₹46,875

🎯 Final Answer:

✅ Cost of Production = ₹46,875


9)A shopkeeper purchased 59 dozens of articles at the rate of ₹728 per dozen. He sold each one of them at the rate of ₹91. What percentage profit did he make?

A) 50% 

B) 52% 

C) 48% 

D) 49%  

14/06/2025 Shift-2 

Let’s solve it step-by-step.


🟢 Step 1: Cost Price per article

Given:

Cost price per dozen = ₹728

1 dozen = 12 articles

So,

CP per article = 728 ÷ 12

= ₹60.67


🟢 Step 2: Selling Price per article

SP per article = ₹91


🟢 Step 3: Profit per article

Profit = 91 − 60.67

= ₹30.33


🟢 Step 4: Profit Percentage

Profit % = (Profit / CP) × 100

= (30.33 / 60.67) × 100

≈ 50%


🎯 Correct Answer: A) 50%


10)Jitesh sold an article at a loss of 11%. If he had bought the item at 5% less and had sold it for ₹739 more, then he would have gained 20%. Find the cost price (in ₹) of the article.

A) 3,361  
B) 2,619 
C) 2,956 
D) 3,204   

17/06/2025 Shift-1 

Let’s solve it step by step.


🟢 Step 1: Assume

Let original Cost Price (CP) = ₹x

He sold at 11% loss

So original Selling Price (SP₁):

SP₁ = 0.89x


🟢 Step 2: New Condition

If he had bought the item at 5% less,
New CP = 0.95x

He sold it for ₹739 more than before:

New SP = 0.89x + 739

And this time he would gain 20%

So,

New SP = 1.20 × (New CP)


🟢 Step 3: Form Equation

0.89x + 739 = 1.20 × 0.95x

0.89x + 739 = 1.14x


🟢 Step 4: Solve Equation

739 = 1.14x − 0.89x

739 = 0.25x

x = 739 / 0.25

x = 2956


🎯 Final Answer:

✅ C) ₹2,956
