Let the cost price of the bag be Rs.100. Therefore price per Kg would be 100/40 = 2.5

60% of rice is sold at 5% discount and remaining 40% is sold at 7% profit.

60% of rice = (60/100) X 40 = 24Kg.

Cost Price of 24 Kg of rice = 24 X 2.5 = 60
Selling Price of 24 Kg of rice (at 5% discount) = 95/100 X 60 = 57

Cost Price of remaining 16 Kg of rice = 16 X 2.5 = 40
Selling Price of 16 Kg of rice (at 7% profit) = 107/100 X 40 = 42.8

Total selling price by Ram = 99.8

Net loss = 100 - 99.8 = 0.2

Loss percentage = Loss/CP x 100% = 0.2/100 x 100 % = 0.2%
