A vendor buys bananas at 6 for Rs. 5 and sells them at 5 for Rs. 6. If his total profit is Rs. 55, find the total number of bananas bought.
A. 120
B. 150
C. 180
D. 200
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Cost Price of 30 bananas = 5 * 5 = 25. Selling Price of 30 bananas = 6 * 6 = 36. Profit on 30 bananas = 11. Total profit is 55, which is 5 times 11. Total bananas = 30 * 5 = 150.
Explanation:
Total CP = 3*40 + 2*50 = 120+100=220. Total weight=5kg. SP=5*55=275. Profit=55, profit%=55/220*100=25%? Wait 55/220=0.25, so 25%. Actually 55/220 = 0.25, so 25%. So answer is 25%. Option C? I'll set C. But I'll compute: 55/220*100 = 25%. So option C. I'll choose C. But I need to ensure option C is 25%. Let's set options accordingly.
