    Question

    A grocer buys 5 kg of sugar at Rs. 180 per kg. While

    selling, he uses a faulty weight that shows 1150 grams instead of 1000 grams but claims to sell it at a profit of 15%. Find the total profit earned by him from selling the sugar bought by him.
    A Rs.112.25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.125.20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.287.25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.285.22 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Cost price of 5 kg sugar = 180×5 =Rs.900

    Quantity of sugar sold = 1.15×5= 5.75 kg

    Selling price of 5 kg of sugar sold = (1.15×180) × 5.75= Rs.1187.25

    Required profit = 1187.25−900 = Rs.287.25
