A man bought $542$ kg of sugar for Rs.$7560.90$ and sold it so as to gain $20$%. The selling price per kilogram of sugar is:

• A. Rs. $16.74$
• B. Rs. $22.92$
• C. Rs. $31.46$
• D. Rs. $12.24$

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rs. $16.74$

C.P of $542$ kg sugar $=$ Rs. $7560.90$

Profit $=20\%$

$\text{S.P}=\frac{100+20}{100}\times 7560.90$

$\Rightarrow \frac{120}{100}\times 7560.90=$ Rs. $9073.08$

$\text{S.P}$ per kg $=\frac{9073.08}{542}=16.74$ Rs.per kg
