Question

A milkman sells cow milk at the rate of Rs. 55 litre including a profit 12 per cent. He also sells buffalo milk at the rate of Rs. 36 per litre including a profit of 20%. How much profit will he earn in five days if he sells 8 litres of cow milk and 10 litres of buffalo milk per day?
A.Rs. 632
B.Rs. 624
C.Rs. 646
D.Rs. 642

Answer 1

Answer:

NONE OF THESE

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cow milk sold in five days = 5 x 8 = 40 litres

Total buffalo milk sold in five days = 5 x 10 = 50 litres  

hence,  

SP of 40 litres cow milk = 40 x 55 = Rs. 2200.  

Hence,

Profit on cow milk = (2200 x 12)/112 = Rs. 235.71

Profit on buffalo milk = (50 x 36 x 20)/120 = Rs. 300

Thus,  

Total Profit = 235.71+300 = Rs. 535.71.
