A trader mixes two types of pulses, A costing Rs. 80/kg and B costing Rs. 120/kg, in the ratio 3:2. He marks up the mixture by 25% on the cost price and allows a 10% discount. Find his net profit per kg.
A. Rs. 15
B. Rs. 10
C. Rs. 12
D. Rs. 14
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Cost Price per kg of mixture = [(3 * 80) + (2 * 120)] / 5 = (240 + 240) / 5 = 96. Marked Price = 96 * 1.25 = 120. Selling Price = 120 * 0.90 = 108. Net profit = 108 - 96 = Rs. 12.
