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 = |

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
62 kg at 30/kg=62*30=1860
gain=1860-(520+1080)=260
gain%=260/1600*100=16.255

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%
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%

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

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%.
