The cost price of two types of tea are Rs. 180 per kg and Rs. 200 per kg respectively. On mixing them in the ratio 5:3, the mixture is sold at Rs. 210 per kg . In the whole transaction, the gain percent is

Options
1) 10%
2) 11%
3) 12%
4) 13%

• 5:3
  5kg costs 180*5=900, 3kg costs 200*3=600, so total cp = 1500;
  but sp = 210*8=1680;
  profit=180;
  profit % = (180/1500)*100 == 12 %.

• the ratio=5:3
  1st type tea=5/8
  2nd type of tea=3/8
  therefore 1 kg of mixed tea price/kg=>180*(5/8)+200*(3/8)=187.5.
  total profit=210-187.5=22.5
  therefore % of profit=(22.5/187.5)*100=12%

• 180*5+200*3=1500
  210*8=1680
  1680-1500=180
  180*100/1500=12

• fistly we find cost price by multiplying the both cost price with ratio given than we comes to selling price we can get by multiplying total ratio into the given sp in kg than applying gain percent formula we get 12% as the answer.

• S.P-8*210=1680 AND C.P-5*180+3*200=1500
  THEREFORE P%=(1680-1500)/1500*100=12%

• 5*180+3*200=1500
  210*8=1680
  1680-1500=180
  (180/1500)*100=12%

• 3rd option
  
  solution is
  5(aw-180)=3(200-aw)
  so aw=187.5
  therefore
  gain=210(given)-187.5
  so gain percent=12%

• Ans : 12%
  cost price = (180 x 5) + (200 x 3) = Rs.1500
  Selling price for 8 kgs = 210 x 8 = Rs.1680
  Gain or profit = Selling price - cost price = 1680 - 1580 = 180
  Gain% = (gain /cost price )(100)
  =(180/1500)100
  =12
