Problem Solving: Profit and Loss Practice MCQ

Question Statement:

A producer of tea blends two varieties of tea from two tea gardens one costing Rs 18 per kg and another Rs 20 per kg in the ratio 5 : 3. If he sells the blended variety at Rs 21 per kg, then his gain percent is

12%

13%

14%

15%

Explanation:

Correct Answer: A

Suppose he bought 5 kg and 3 kg of tea.

Cost Price = Rs. (5 x 18 + 3 x 20) = Rs. 150.

Selling price = Rs. (8 × 21) = Rs. 168.

Profit = 168 - 150 = 18

So, Profit % = $\frac{18}{150}$ × 100 = 12%
