Question 12

A sells vegetables at a profit of 35% and for weighing uses a weight which is 10% less than the article weight. What is total profit percentage?

Solution

Let cost price of 1 kg of vegetable = Rs. 1000 (1 gm cost Re. 1)

Weight used by A = $$1000-(\frac{10}{100}\times1000)=900$$ gm

=> Cost price of 1 kg vegetable (900 gm in reality) = Rs. 900

Selling price after 35% profit = $$1000+(\frac{35}{100}\times1000)=Rs.$$ $$1350$$

$$\therefore$$ Profit % = $$\frac{(1350-900)}{900}\times100$$

= $$\frac{450}{9}=50\%$$

=> Ans - (A)
