      Question

      A seller bought 25 kg of apples at Rs. 40 per kg. He sold

      some at a profit of 15% and the rest at a profit of 25%. If he earned a total profit of Rs. 175, determine the quantity of apples sold at 25% profit.
      A 12.55 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 8.50 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 6.25 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 11.12 kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the quantity of apples sold at 25% profit be ‘x’ kg and the quantity of apples sold at 15% profit be ‘25 – x’ kg.

      ATQ;

      40 × 0.15 × (25 – x) + 40 × 0.25 × x = 175

      Or, 150 – 6x + 10x = 175

      Or, 4x = 25

      Or, x = 6.25

      Therefore, the seller sold 6.25 kg of apples at 25% profit.
