29.25
Step-by-step explanation:
total investment = 200 × 25 = Rs 5000
required s.p to gain 8% on total investment
= 108% of 5000 = 5400
tot s.p of 80 kg & 40 kg of rice
= 105%(80× 25) + 96% of (40× 25)
= 3060
rice left = 200- (80+40) = 80 kg & he should sell it for 5400-3060 = Rs 2340
required s.p per kg of remaining to gain 8% on total investment
= 2340/80=Rs 29.25

Step-by-step explanation:
Gain of 8% on whole =108/100*5000
=₹5400
CP of 80kg rice=2000
SP of 80kg rice=105/100*2000
=2100
CP of 40kg rice=2000
SP =96/100*2000=1920
2100+1920=4020
But the required SP is 5400
Which means the remaining rice should be sold for ₹1380
Cost per kg=1380/80=₹17.25
