Five kg of ghee was bought by venu for Rs. 300. One kg was spoiled. He sells the remaining in such a way that on the whole he incurs a loss of 10%. At what price per kg does he sell the ghee?
option
(a) Rs. 67.50
(b) Rs. 60.50
(c) Rs. 56.00
(d) Rs. 67.00
(e) None of these

• Total Cost Price= 300.
  10% of 300=30.
  So total Selling Price=Rs (300-30)=270.
  Now left - 4kg.
  So Selling Price per kg=Rs(270/4)=Rs 67.50

• 5kg ghee but one kg is spoild ,there is no chance of selling spoild ghee
  5kg-1kg=4kg
  loss of 10% of 300= 10*300/100=30
  remaining price of ghee= 270
  if 4kg rate is 270 then 1kg rate is
  270/4= RS 67.5

• Cost of 5kg ghee=Rs300
  1 kg spoiled
  left 4 kg
  loss is 10% on selling 4 kg of ghee
  SP=90/100*300=270 for 4 kg
  so per kg price is 270/4=67.50
