14) An article bought for 500 is sold lor 595. What is the profit per cent? (5) Draw a line AB and take a point p on it. Draw a perpendicular to the line AB at themoint P About the author Abigail
14) Profit = Rs.595 – Rs.500 = Rs.95 Profit percent = Profit/CP × 100 = Rs.95/Rs.500 × 100 = 19% . Ans: Profit percent is 19% (5) Draw a line segment AB, take a point P above it. Taking P as a centre and a suitable radius, draw an arc which cut the line AB at two points X and Y. Taking X and Y as centre and suitable radius draw two arcs and let them intersect at Z. Join PZ. PZ is the required perpendicular on AB. Reply
