Solution

The correct option is A

10%


C.P of 7 kg of 1st kind of tea = Rs. 15 × 7 = Rs. 105

C.P of 3 kg of 2nd​ kind of tea = Rs. 20 × 3 = Rs. 60

C.P of 10 kg of tea = Rs. (105 + 60) = Rs. 165

S.P of 1 kg (mixed tea) = Rs. 18.15

S.P of 10 kg (mixed tea) = Rs. 18.15 × 10 = Rs. 181.50

Gain on Rs. 165 = Rs. (181.50 – 165.00) = Rs. 16.50

Gain% = 16.5×100165 = 10%
