• i think Priyadharsine solution is right.. then to find percentege gain the formula is
  Profit (gain) % = (Profit / C.P) *100
  =(80/1600)*100.
  so the ans is 5%

• Ans: is E)none of these
  total rice is 56 kg
  total cost price of the rice is:
  26*20+30*36=1600
  Selling price is 56*36=2016
  gain= S.P-C.P
  =2016-1600=416
  profit %= (gain*100)/C.P
  therefore: (416*100)/1600
  =26 %
  Ans is 26%

• total sale will be--26*20+36*30=1600
  mixture sale-- (20+30)30=1500
  profit 100
  %age (100/1500)100=6.66%

• 5%
  total cost =(26*20)+(30*36)=1600Rs.
  total rice=26+30=56kg
  selling cost=(56*30)=1680
  profit=1680-1600=80Rs.
  profit%=(80/1600)*100=5%
