Solution

The correct option is C Rs. 340
Plotting the data from the radar graph,

Total solution in Vessel A = (10 + 6) = 16 liters

Total solution in Vessel B = (15 + 5) = 20 liters

Selling price of solution in vessel A = 16 × 15 = Rs. 240

Selling price of solution in vessel B = 20 × 30 = Rs. 600

Total selling price = 240 + 600 = Rs. 840

Actual cost price of milk in vessel A and B = (10 + 15) × 20 = Rs. 500

Profit = 840 – 500 = Rs. 340
