Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A seller bought 75kg at Rs. 30/-kg

1/3 of tatl. e 25kg (1/3 of 75kg ) was sold for Rs. 28.5/-kg

balance 50kg should be sold for:

Total cost (75kg × 30) = Rs. 2250

profit should be gained = 10% of 2250

= 225

So total = 2475

the cost already sold by seller is 28.5 × 25kg = 712.5

so the price to be sold to get overall gain will be = 2475 - 712.5 = 1762.5

so seller must sell balance 50 at cost of Rs. 35.25/-kg
