    Two lots of onions with equal quantity, one costing Rs. 10 per kg and the other costing Rs. 15 per kg, are mixed together and whole lot is sold at Rs. 15 per kg. Find the profit percentage or loss / percentage?

    A) 10% loss                       

    B) 10% profit

    C) 20% profit                     

    D) 20% loss

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let each lot contains x kg onion, then total cost price of these two lots together \[10x+15x-25x\] Selling price of whole lot = \[15\times \left( x+x \right)\] \[15\times 2x\Rightarrow 30x\] Profit percentage = \[\frac{30x-25x}{25x}\times 100\] \[\frac{5x}{25x}\times 100\]= 20%
