    β€˜B’ at Rs. 40 per kg and Rs. 34 per kg respectively. He mixes 1 kg of variety β€˜A’ rice with 2 kg of variety β€˜B’ rice and sells the mixture at Rs. 60 per kg. What is his profit percent?
    A 33.33% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 26.33% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 55.55% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 66.66% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Cost price of 3 kg of the rice mixture = 40 + 34 Γ— 2 = Rs. 108 Cost price of 1 kg of the rice mixture = 108 Γ· 3 = Rs. 36 So, profit percentage = (60 – 36) Γ· 36 Γ— 100 = 66.66%
