Answer 1

Answer:

x type = 60 kg

y type = 40 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say x  type wheat =  A kg

then y tupe  wheat = 100 - A kg

Cost price of x type = 10A  Rs

Cost price of y ype = 5(100-A) = 500 - 5A  Rs

Total Cost Price = 10A + 500 - 5A

= 500 + 5A

Sold in Rs 1100

profit = Rs 300

Cost Price = 1100 - 300 = 800 Rs

500 + 5A = 800

=> 5A = 300

=> A = 60

x type = 60 kg

y type = 40 kg
