Solution

The correct option is A $5 %$
Total $C P$ of $56$ kg rice $= 26 \times 20 + 30 \times 36$
$= 520 + 1080$
$= R s . 1600$

Total $S P$ of $56$ kg rice $= 56 \times 30$
$= R s . 1680$

$Profit % = \frac{1680 - 1600}{1600} \times 100$

$= \frac{80}{1600} \times 100$

$= 5 %$

Therefore, option $B$ is correct.
