A shopkeeper purchases a spirit at rs 60, adds some water & sells its Rs 75 per ltr. What is the ratio of spirit to water if his profit in d deal is 37.5%.?

Profit = (SP-CP)/CP = 3/8 => 8SP = 11CP -> SP = (11/8)*CP
CP of one ltr = 8*75/11
Quantity of spirit in one ltr sol = 8*75/ (11*60) = 10/11
-> Ratio of spirit to water = 10:1 ?

profit is 37.5% = 3/8
i.e if cp = x
then 1.375x = 75
so x = 75/1.375 = 75*8/11 = 54.54 = cp
ratio of spirit/water = 10:1 approx..

List price is similar to marked price
CP for distributor = MP*(1 - 2/5) = 3MP/5 = 6MP/10
SP for distributor = MP*( 1- 3/10) = 7MP/10
Profit = (MP/10) / ( 6MP/10) = 1/6 = 16.66 % ?

There is some problem in the terminology of the question (marked price, list price etc).
EDIT: correctly solved above

let manufacturer's cp=100
so mp=187.5
now distributor's cp=187.5*60/100=112.5
distributor's sp=187.5*70/100=131.25
profit%=131.25-112.5/112.5*100=16.66%??

4. Actual price=100
marked price=187.5
=> Cost price for distributor=187.5*2/5=112.5
Selling price for distributor=187.5*3/10=131.25
=> profit for distributor=(131.25-112.5)/112.5=16.67%

Let the CP of manf. =100
MP=187.5 ::::: SP= 0.60*187.5= 112.5
CP of distributor= 112.5
SP of distributor= 0.70* 187.5= 131.25
% profit margin of distributor= (131.25 -112.5)/112.5*100 =16.66%

i would always solve these kind of probs with numbers :D
let CP = 400
SO MP = LP = 750
CP tp dist = 450
sp of dist = 0.7*750 = 525
so profit = 75/450 = 1/6 = 16.66%
