  1. A shopkeeper has 100 kgs of tea. He sells a part of it at 20% profit and the rest at 5% loss. If his overall profit is 10%, find the quantity for each part.
    1. 20 kgs
    2. 25 kgs
    3. 30 kgs
    4. 40 kgs
Correct Option: A

As per figure, we can calculate as below.
Quantity sold at 20% profit = 3 / (3 + 2) × 100 = 60 kgs.
Quantity sold at 5% loss = (100 – 60) = 40 kgs.
