[A].
No profit, no loss
[B].
5%
[C].
8%
[D].
10%
[E].
None of these
Answer: Option B

Your answer is wrong 26+36=62
62 kg at 30/kg=62*30=1860
Hi friends,
Total mixture = 26Kg+30Kg = 56 Kg
C.P of Total mixture = {(26*20)+(30*36)} = Rs.1600
S.P of 1Kg of mixture = Rs.30
S.P of Total mixture(i.e 56Kg) = 30*56 = Rs.1680
Now, Profit = S.P of Total mixture - C.P of Total mixture
= 1680-1600 = Rs.80
Profit Percent = (80*100)/1600
= 5%
Gain =
% = 5%.
