Solution
✅ Correct Option: 3
Siyaram has 100 kg apples total. He sells them in two batches:
- Batch 1: Some amount at 8% profit
- Batch 2: Rest at 18% profit
- Overall: 14% profit on the total
The quantity sold at 18% profit needs to be determined.
Let the amount sold at 8% profit be kg.
Then the amount sold at 18% profit is kg.
The total profit from all apples equals the sum of individual profits from each batch.
Converting to decimal form:
kg
The quantity sold at 8% profit is 40 kg.
The quantity sold at 18% profit:
kg
Therefore, the quantity sold at 18% profit is 60 kg.
