Answer 2

The mixture of sugar should be sold at Rs. 30/Kg so that there is no loss or gain (Option C).

Given,

5kg of sugar costing Rs.20/Kg is added to 10Kg of sugar costing Rs.35/kg.

To Find,

The price per kg (in Rs.) of the mixture so that there is no loss or gain.

Solution,

The method of finding the price per kg (in Rs.) of the sugar mixture so that there is no loss or gain is as follows -

The total price of 5kg of sugar costing Rs.20/Kg is Rs. $5*20=100.$

The total price of 10kg of sugar costing Rs.35/Kg is Rs. $10*35=350.$

So the total price of the $5+10=15$kg mixture of sugar is Rs. $100+350=450.$

Since there is no loss or gain for selling the mixture of sugar, the 15 kg mixture of sugar should be sold at Rs. 450.

So the price of the mixture of sugar per kg is Rs. $450\div15=30.$

Hence, the mixture of sugar should be sold at Rs. 30/Kg so that there is no loss or gain.
