    Question

    A shopkeeper purchases rice of two varieties ‘A’ and

    ‘B’ at Rs. 60 per kg and Rs. 30 per kg respectively. He mixes 1 kg of variety ‘A’ rice with 2 kg of variety ‘B’ rice and sells the mixture at Rs. 45 per kg. What is his profit percent?
    A 10.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 16.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 19.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Cost price of 3 kg of the rice mixture = 60 + 30 × 2 = Rs. 120 Cost price of 1 kg of the rice mixture = 120 ÷ 3 = Rs. 40 So, profit percentage = (45 – 40) ÷ 40 × 100 = 12.5%
