CP of 1 kg rice = ₹25
CP of 200 kg = ₹(25×200)
= ₹5000
CP of 80 kg rice = ₹(25×80)
= ₹ 2000
SP of 80 kg of rice= ₹( 110×2000/100)
= ₹ 2200. [ 10% gain]

CP of 40 kg rice =₹(25×40)
= ₹1000
SP of 40 kg rice = ₹(96×1000/100)
= ₹960. [10% loss]

To get total 8% gain,
Total SP should be 108% of 5000
= ₹(108×5000/100)
= ₹5400
SP of the remaining rice (i.e. of 80 kg)
= ₹(5400-(2200-960))
= ₹2240
Therefore,
Required rate....
=₹ 2240/80
=₹28 .....per kg ( ans)
