Solution

The correct option is B
10% Profit
10% लाभ
Let the cost price of rice be = Rs. 100/kg
So, the selling price = Rs. 88/Kg
But he is selling only 800 Grams 🡪 Cost of 800
grams of rice is Rs. 80.
Profit % = 880×100=10%

माना चावल का लागत मूल्य = 100 रुपये/ किग्रा
तो, विक्रय मूल्य = 88 रु./ किलोग्राम लेकिन वह केवल 800 ग्राम बेच रहा है,
इसलिए 800 ग्राम चावल का लागत 80 रु.। लाभ% = 880×100=10%
