Manish bought 25 kg ofrice at Rs.32 per kg and 15 kg of rice at Rs.36 per kg. What profit did he get when he mixed the two varieties together and sold it at Rs.40.20 per kg ?
A0.25
B0.4
C0.3
D0.2

Correct answer is: 0.2

Explanation:

\(\text{CP. of 40 kg of mixture = Rs. }\Large 25 \times 32 + 15 \times 36\)

\(\text{= Rs }\Large 25 \times 32 + 15 \times 36\)

\(\text{= Rs. }\Large \left(800 + 540\right) \text{= Rs. 1340}\)

\(\text{SP of 40 kg of mixture}\)

\(\text{= Rs}. \left(40 \times 40.2\right) \text{= Rs.1608}\)

\(\text{Profit = Rs. (1608 - 1340) = Rs.268}\)

\(\text{Profit % = } \Large \frac{268}{1340} \times 100 \text{= 20%}\)
