Vikas bought 100 kg of wheat at 16 per kg and 300 kg at the rate of 14 per kg. he sold the mixture to get 24% profit.At what price per kg he sold the mixture ?
a)16
b)18
c)16.42
d)16.24
e)none of these

• 100*16=1600
  300*14=4200
  total=5800
  and he sold that he gets 24% profit means
  5800*124/100=7192
  so he got total then
  he sold per kg is 7192/400=17.98(18)
  so option B is wright

• 100*16=1600, 300*14=4200, total expend 5800 and total weight of wheat 400kg, Now he sold in 24% profit that means 5800*24/100+5800=7192, he sold wheat per kg 7192/400=17.98
  so option e is right (None of these)

• 100 kg * 16 =Rs.1600
  300 kg * 14 =Rs.4200
  --------------------
  400 kg cp=5800
  
  24% profit means (24/100)5800 =1392
  Total = 5800+ 1392 =7192
  400 kg=7192
  1 kg = 7192/400 =17.98(18)
  
  ans is B

• 18 Rs. by using the formula of profit after calculating the total cost of wheat
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
• c.p of rice (300+100)= 1600+4200=5800
  profit=24
  24=(s.p-c.p)/c.p*100
  24*5800/100= s.p-5800
  24*58 =s.p-5800
  s.p = 5800+1392 =7192
  s.p/ kg = 7192/400 =17.98 (18)... so b is right.
