a man buys 140 apples of one varity for rs.320 and 400 apples another variety for rs.640 .he mixes and sells them at 16 apples for rs.30.what is the percentage of his profit

• the total no. of apples = 140+400=540
  total cost price of 540 apples = 320+640 =960
  since,he sells 16 apples for rs. 30
  then price of 1 apple= 30/16
  then selling price of 540 apples =(30*540)/16 =rs. 1012.5
  there fore profit =1012.5-960 =rs. 52.5
  therefore % of profit = (52.5*100)/960 =5.468 %

• buying price of one Apple.....
  =(640+320)/(140+400)
  = 1.78 RS
  buying price of 16 apples.....
  =28.44rs
  selling price of 16 apples ...
  =30rs is given
  profit=30-28.44=1.56rs
