Total bought wheat = 4 + 10 = 14 kg
Total cp = 400+200 = 600 rs.
Sp of 1 kg = 60 rs.
Total Sp = 60 * 14 = 840 rs.
P = Sp - cp
= 840 - 600 = 240 rs.
P% = p/ cp * 100% = 240/600*100% = 40%
So his total gain is 40 %
Total cp = 400+200 = 600 rs.
Sp of 1 kg = 60 rs.
Total Sp = 60 * 14 = 840 rs.
P = Sp - cp
= 840 - 600 = 240 rs.
P% = p/ cp * 100% = 240/600*100% = 40%
So his total gain is 40 %

Answer:this is wrong ,answer will be 33.33%
Lets think by yourself.
One verity 200 for 4 kg,it means 1 kg for 50 ruppe
Other variety ,400 for 10 kg
It means 1 kg =40 ruppe
It means 2 kg =90 kg(50rs +40rs)
It means 1 kg =45 kg
Quantities are mixed together,and and sold at 60 rs/kg.
Profit is 60-45=15
Profit%= 15/45
1/3=33.33%
