  • Question
  • A merchant has 160 kgs of wheat. He sells a part of it at 10% profit and the rest of 6% loss. If he incurs 4% loss on the whole, find the quantity for each part.


  • Options
  • A. 120 kgs

  • Correct Answer
  • 140 kgs 

    Explanation

    According to figure we can find that the ration would be 1 : 7.
    Quantity sold at 10% profit = 1 / (1 + 7)× 160 = 20 kgs.
    Quantity sold at 6% loss = (160 ? 20) = 140 kgs.
