A man bought a scooter and a car. His total profit is 30% by selling both of items. Scooter is sold at 10% profit. Cost price of scooter is `(1)/(10)` of the cost of car. Marked price of a car is Rs. 4,50,000. If he bought Scooter at a discount of 20% on marked price and car at a discount of 10% on marked price then, what will be the ratio of marked price of scooter to the selling price of the car.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the information given in the question and derive the required values systematically. ### Step 1: Define Variables Let the cost price of the car be \( C \). According to the problem, the cost price of the scooter is \( \frac{1}{10} \) of the cost price of the car, so: - Cost price of scooter = \( \frac{C}{10} \) ### Step 2: Calculate Cost Price of Car The marked price of the car is given as Rs. 4,50,000. Since he bought the car at a discount of 10%, the cost price of the car can be calculated as: \[ \text{Cost Price of Car} = \text{Marked Price} \times (1 - \text{Discount}) \] \[ C = 4,50,000 \times (1 - 0.10) = 4,50,000 \times 0.90 = 4,05,000 \] ### Step 3: Calculate Cost Price of Scooter Using the cost price of the car, we can find the cost price of the scooter: \[ \text{Cost Price of Scooter} = \frac{C}{10} = \frac{4,05,000}{10} = 40,500 \] ### Step 4: Calculate Selling Price of Scooter The scooter is sold at a profit of 10%. Therefore, the selling price of the scooter can be calculated as: \[ \text{Selling Price of Scooter} = \text{Cost Price of Scooter} \times (1 + \text{Profit Percentage}) \] \[ \text{Selling Price of Scooter} = 40,500 \times (1 + 0.10) = 40,500 \times 1.10 = 44,550 \] ### Step 5: Calculate Total Profit and Selling Price of Car The total profit from selling both items is 30%. Therefore, the total selling price can be expressed as: \[ \text{Total Selling Price} = \text{Total Cost Price} \times (1 + \text{Total Profit Percentage}) \] The total cost price is: \[ \text{Total Cost Price} = \text{Cost Price of Car} + \text{Cost Price of Scooter} = 4,05,000 + 40,500 = 4,45,500 \] Now, we can calculate the total selling price: \[ \text{Total Selling Price} = 4,45,500 \times (1 + 0.30) = 4,45,500 \times 1.30 = 5,78,150 \] ### Step 6: Calculate Selling Price of Car Let the selling price of the car be \( S_C \). The total selling price is the sum of the selling prices of the scooter and the car: \[ S_C + 44,550 = 5,78,150 \] Thus, \[ S_C = 5,78,150 - 44,550 = 5,33,600 \] ### Step 7: Calculate Marked Price of Scooter The scooter is bought at a discount of 20% on its marked price. Let the marked price of the scooter be \( M_S \). The cost price of the scooter can be expressed as: \[ \text{Cost Price of Scooter} = M_S \times (1 - 0.20) \] \[ 40,500 = M_S \times 0.80 \] Solving for \( M_S \): \[ M_S = \frac{40,500}{0.80} = 50,625 \] ### Step 8: Calculate the Ratio of Marked Price of Scooter to Selling Price of Car Now, we can find the ratio of the marked price of the scooter to the selling price of the car: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{M_S}{S_C} = \frac{50,625}{5,33,600} \] To simplify this ratio, we can divide both numbers by 25: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{50,625 \div 25}{5,33,600 \div 25} = \frac{2,025}{21,344} \] ### Step 9: Final Calculation To further simplify: \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{25}{264} \] ### Conclusion The ratio of the marked price of the scooter to the selling price of the car is \( \frac{25}{264} \).
