No need to even pick a pen for this question. Some portion is sold at 34% profit and other at 24% loss. Lets assume that 50% portion is sold at 34% profit and other 50% at loss, if that is the case then farmer should have earned some profit, but farmer is in loss therefore portion sold in loss must be above 50% that is more than 200kg and less than 400kg. Looking at the options D is the only value between 200 and 400kg.
