A trader underweighs rice and gets a profit of 40%.Had he used the correct weight,he would have still got a profit of 26%.What weight does he use for 1 kg?

1) 860g
2) 940g
3) 900g
4) 820g

• 900 gms.
  
  If he purchased 1000 gms rice for Rs 100.
  If he used correct weight, he will sell 1000 gm rice for Rs 126.
  But when he used incorrect weight, he sold x gms in place of 1000 gm for Rs 126
  and 1000 gms for Rs 140.
  so x= 126*1000/140 = 900 gms
