A trader mixes 26 kg of rice at Rs. 20 per kg with 30 kg of rice of another variety at Rs. 36 per kg and sells the mixture at Rs. 30 per kg. His profit percent is:

No profit, no loss
5%
8%
10%

Validate

Solution:

C.P. of 56 kg rice
= Rs. (26 × 20 + 30 × 36)
= Rs. (520 + 1080) = Rs. 1600
S.P. of 56 kg rice = Rs. (56 × 30) = Rs. 1680
Gain = (SP – CP) ×

100/\CP

=80/1600×

100 = 5%
