A trader mixes 26 kg of rice at Rs. 20 per kg with 30 kg of rice of other variety at Rs. 36 per kg and sells the mixture at Rs. 30 per kg. His profit percent is:
No profit, no loss
5%
8%
10%
None of these
Answer: Option
Explanation:

C.P. of 56 kg rice = Rs. (26 x 20 + 30 x 36) = Rs. (520 + 1080) = Rs. 1600.

S.P. of 56 kg rice = Rs. (56 x 30) = Rs. 1680.

Gain = 80 x 100 % = 5%.
1600

Cp of 26kg is 20*26=520.
Then cp of 30kg is 30*36=1080.
Then total cp=1600(520+1080).
So=56*30=1680rs and difference is 80 is the profit. Then 80is 5% on cp.

Your answer is wrong 26+36=62
62 kg at 30/kg=62*30=1860

gain=1860-(520+1080)=260
gain%=260/1600*100=16.255

Total cp = 1600.
Total sp = 1680.
Profit = sp-cp.
Profit = 80.

1%of 1600 = 16
5% = 16*5 = 80.

Read it correctly @Mamta :- question said 26kg rice is mixed with 30kg so total is 56kg.

Ramesh said:   1 decade ago
Friends the total kgs are only 56. Because 36 is the rate of 30 kgs.

(41+29+10)% = 80%

Fail and pass percentage is 20 yes.
