Answer/Solution
12%
Steps/Work
Exp. Let 5kg of first kind of tea be mixed with 3 kg of second kind
C.P of 8 kg of tea = Rs. ( 180*5 + 200*3 ) = Rs. 1500
S.P of 8 kg of tea = Rs. (210 * 8) = Rs. 1680
Gain = Rs. ( 1680 – 1500 ) = Rs. 180
Gain% = ( 180/1500*100 )% = 12%
ANSWER:C
C.P of 8 kg of tea = Rs. ( 180*5 + 200*3 ) = Rs. 1500
S.P of 8 kg of tea = Rs. (210 * 8) = Rs. 1680
Gain = Rs. ( 1680 – 1500 ) = Rs. 180
Gain% = ( 180/1500*100 )% = 12%
ANSWER:C
