Answer 1

correct Answer is Option a ( 50% )

________________________________

➪ Let the cost of 1 kg vegetable = ₹ 100

➪ But the seller sells 900 gm

➪ Instead of 1 kg which costs ₹ 90

➪ Given , profit% = 35%

➪ So, Sp = 100+(35/100)×100= ₹135

➪ therefore Actual profit% = [(135-90)/90] ×100

➪ = 50% ✔︎✔︎✔︎

Answer 2

c) 45

let the cost price of vegetable be y

selling price of vegetables = 35y for 10% less vegetables

cost price of y-y/10 amount of vegetable = 90%

selling price of y-y/10 amount of vegetable = 135%

s.p - c.p

135 - 90 = 45% profit
