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 |

How S.P is 56*30?

What if we do it with LCM method?
Ramesh said:

Friends the total kgs are only 56. Because 36 is the rate of 30 kgs.

I think by allocation we can find ratio problems only.

Hi friends,
Total weight of rice mixture is 26kg of Rs.20 verity and 30kg of Rs.36 verity.
Total rice of two verity is 26+30 = 56kg.
Total CP is (26*20+30*36) = Rs.1600.
SP of total rice is (56*30) = 1680.
Profit percentage P% = p/CP*100.
i.e. p% = 80/1600*100 = 5%.

Answer is exactly correct.
Here,
CP of 26 kg rice is 26*20 = 580.
CP of 30 kg rice is 36*330 = 1080.
Now (CP1+CP2) = 1080+580.
= 1600.
SP of 56 kg = 56*30 = 1680.
Profit = SP-CP=1680-1600 = 80.
Gain% = 100/80*100 = 5%.
Here,
CP of 26 kg rice is 26*20 = 580.
CP of 30 kg rice is 36*330 = 1080.
Now (CP1+CP2) = 1080+580.
= 1600.
SP of 56 kg = 56*30 = 1680.
Profit = SP-CP=1680-1600 = 80.
Gain% = 100/80*100 = 5%.
