    A 25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 40 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 50 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the quantity of A be 100y kg. Quantity of B=100y×125/100=125y Quantity of C=125y×100/75=500/3 y  Quantity ratio of A, B & C respectively=12y:15y:20y Now, Total CP = 12y × (50+15y) × (40 + 20y) × x=1200y + 20xy Total SP=1200y × (110/100) + 20xy × (80/100) = 1320y+16xy ATQ, 1200y + 20xy = 1320y + 16xy x=30
