      Question

      A dealer buys three types of mangoes at Rs. 40, Rs. 30

      and Rs. 10 kg respectively. He mixes them in the ratio of 2:3:4 by weight and sells them at a profit of 38%. At what price does he sell the mangoes?
      A Rs. 32.2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 48.72 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 44.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 50.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Suppose the dealer purchases 2kg, 3kg and 4kg of mangoes respectively of each type. Then, the price of total mangoes = (2 x 40 )+ (3 x 30 )+ (4 x 10 )= Rs. 210 As the total mangoes weigh 9kg and the dealer makes a profit of 38%, the selling price of the mangoes per kg = (210 x 138)/(100 x 1/9) = Rs. 32.2
