      A 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 32% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 42% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 72% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Cost price (CP) of 3 kg at Rs 60/kg = 3 × 60 = 180 CP of 2 kg at Rs 40/kg = 2 × 40 = 80 Total CP for 5 kg = 180 + 80 = 260 CP per kg = 260 / 5 = 52 Selling price (SP) per kg = 65 Profit per kg = 65 − 52 = 13 Profit % = (Profit / CP) × 100 = (13 / 52) × 100 = (1 / 4) × 100 = 25%
