A merchant buys 20kg of wheat at rs.30.00 per kg and 40kg wheat at rs.25.00 per kg.He mixes them and sell one third of the mixture at rs.26.00 per kg. The price at which the merchant should sell the remaining mixture so that he may earn a profit of 25% on his whole outlay is

• total cp = 20 * 30 + 40*25= 1600
  sp = 125/100 * 1600= 2000
  sp for 20kg mix = 26*20 =520
  rem sp = 2000-520 = 1480
  as this sp is for 40 kg = 1480 / 40 = Rs37

  sp = 125/100 * 1600= 1900
  sp for 20kg mix = 26*20 =520
  rem sp = 1900-520 = 1380
  as this sp is for 40 kg = 1380 / 40 = Rs37
