Given :Milk-man has 300 litres of milk at a rate of rs.19/lit.
Cost of 300 lts milk = 300x19=Rs.5700.
Amount of milk after adding 200 liters of water=300+200=500lts.
He sold 400 liters for Rs. 20/liter.
Selling price of 400 lts milk = 400x20=Rs.8,000.
Remaining amount of milk = 500-400=100lts.Amount of water added = 10 lts.
Amount of milk after adding water=110lts .This he sold for Rs.15 per lt.
Selling price of 110 lts = 110x15=Rs.1650.
Profit= Selling price - cost price
Profit =(8000+1650)-5700.
Profit=9650-5700
Profit=Rs.3950.
