Siyaram has 100 Kg apples, he sells a part of it at 8% profit and rest of it at 18% profit. The overall profit he earns is 14%. The quantity he sold at 18% profit is: |
71 Kg 30 Kg 60 Kg 55 Kg |
60 Kg |
The correct answer is Option (3) → 60 Kg Let the quantity sold at 18% profit be $x$ kg. Then the quantity sold at 8% profit is $(100 - x)$ kg. Overall profit = 14% Weighted profit equation: $\frac{(100 - x)(8) + x(18)}{100} = 14$ $800 - 8x + 18x = 1400$ $800 + 10x = 1400$ $10x = 600$ $x = 60$ The quantity sold at 18% profit is 60 kg. |
