      Question

      A shopkeeper purchases rice of two varieties ‘A’ and

      ‘B’ at Rs. 27 per kg and Rs. 24 per kg respectively. He mixes 1 kg of variety ‘A’ rice with 2 kg of variety ‘B’ rice and sells the mixture at Rs. 40 per kg. What is his profit percent?
      A 50% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 65% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 40% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 60% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Cost price of 3 kg of the rice mixture = 27 + 24 × 2 = Rs. 75 Cost price of 1 kg of the rice mixture = 75 ÷ 3 = Rs. 25 So, profit percentage = (40 – 25) ÷ 25 × 100 = 60%
