Question:

A shopkeeper sells rice at cost price but uses a faulty weighing machine and thus gains a profit of 25%. Find how many grams rice he is giving in 1 kg ?

Options:

800gm

700gm

900gm

750 gm

Correct Answer:

800gm

Explanation:

25% = \(\frac{1}{4}\)

If he uses faulty weight of 25% means he is making 25% profit for 1kg

So , 5x = 1000

4x = 800 grams ( used by shopkeeper)
