ANSWER

Total cost of wheat Rs.35000

Wheat sold at loss =

7

1

×35000=5000

Loss =25%

Thus, SP =CP−Loss=5000−

100

25

×5000=5000−1250=Rs.3750

Wheat sold at profit =

7

6

×35000=30000

Gain =10%

Thus, SP=CP+Profit=30000+

100

10

×30000=Rs.33000

Total SP=3750+330000=Rs.36750

Hence, net profit =36750−35000=Rs.1750

Profit % =

35000

1750

×100=5%
