  • Options
  • A. 15.84
  • B. 14.92
  • C. 13.98
  • D. 16.38

  • Correct Answer
  • 16.38 

    Explanation

    Given, Manideep purchases 30kg of barley at the rate of 11.50/kg nad 20kg at the rate of 14.25/kg.

    Total cost of the mixture of barley = (30 x 11.50) + (20 x 14.25)

    => Total cost of the mixture = Rs. 630

    Total kgs of the mixture = 30 + 20 = 50kg

    Cost of mixture/kg = 630/50 = 12.6/kg

    To make 30% of profit

    => Selling price for manideep = 12.6 + 30% x 12.6

    => Selling price for manideep = 12.6 + 3.78 = 16.38/kg.
