Two lots of onions with equal quantity, one costing Rs. 10 per kg and the other costing Rs. 15 per kg, are mixed together and whole lot is sold at Rs. 15 per kg. What is the profit or loss percentage?
A. No profit no loss
B. 20% profit
C. 20% loss
D. 25% profit
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Let quantity of each be 1 kg. Total Cost Price = 10 + 15 = 25 for 2 kg. Cost Price per kg = 12.5. Selling Price per kg = 15. Profit = 2.5. Profit percentage = (2.5 / 12.5) * 100 = 20%.
