10. LCM of 7 and 8 is 56.
The CP of 56 pencils at the rate of 7 for
Rs.9 is Rs.72
The SP of 56 pencils at the rate of 8 for Rs.11
is Rs.77
Profit is Rs.5.
If the profit is Rs.5, the number of pencils is
56.
But the profit is Rs.12.50, therefore the
12.5
number of pencils is 56 = 140

12. Let the cost price of the article be Rs.100
Selling Price = Rs.130 (30% profit)
if he buys 10% less, then C.P = Rs.90
Now the Selling Price = Rs.108 (20% profit)
Difference in S.P is 130 108 = Rs.22
If the difference in S.P is Rs.22, the C.P is
Rs.100. If the difference in S.P is Rs.330, then
330
C.P.= 100 = Rs.1500
