A merchant has 5000 kg of Basmati rice.
एक दुकानदार के पास 5000 kg बासमती चावल है। वह इस बासमती चावल का कुछ भाग 20% के लाभ पर और शेष चावल 35% के लाभ पर बेच देता है। उसे पूरे लेन -देन में 29% का लाभ होता है। क्रमशः 20% लाभ और 35% लाभ पर बेची गई मात्रा क्या है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
2000 kg, 3000 kg
Let the quantity sold at 20% profit be $ x $ kg, and at 35% profit be 5000 - $ x $ kg
Using allegation: $\frac{35 - 29}{29 - 20} = \frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3} $
Ratio of quantities sold at 20% and 35% profit = 2 : 3
$ x : (5000 - x) = 2 : 3 $
$ \frac{x}{5000 - x} = \frac{2}{3} $
$ 3x = 2(5000 - x) $
$ 3x = 10000 - 2x $
$ 5x = 10000 $
$ x = 2000 $ kg
$ 5000 - x = 3000 $ kg
Quantity at 20% profit = 2000 kg, at 35% profit = 3000 kg
