    D 44% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    SP of Almonds = 750, profit is 20%, So CP of Almonds = `(100/120)xx750` = Rs. 625 Given transportation cost of Cashew is Rs 25, So that CP of Cashew = 225 + 25 + 50 = Rs. 300, Profit is Rs. 250, so SP of Cashew = Rs 550 SP of Apricot = Rs. 550, at 20% profit, CP of Apricot = Rs. 458 So CP of (4 kg of Almonds + 6 kg of Cashew + 5 kg of Apricot) = 4 x 625 + 6 x 300 + 5 x 458 = Rs. 6590 Similarly SP of (4 kg of Almonds + 6 kg of Cashew + 5 kg of Apricot) = 4 x 750 + 6 x 550 + 5 x 550 = Rs. 9050 So profit% = `(2460/6590)xx100` = 37%
