Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 25

Given:

A shopkeeper bought 10 kg of rice at the rate of Rs. 25 per kg. He sold forty percent of the total quantity at the rate of Rs. 50 per kg.

Calculation:

Cost price of rice = 10 × 25 = Rs. 250

40% of total quantity = 10 × 0.4 = 4 kg 

Selling price of 4 kg = 50 × 4 = Rs. 200 

For overall 40% profit, total Selling price = 250 × 1.4 = Rs. 350

Remaining quantity = (10 - 4)kg = 6 Kg

Selling price per kg of remaining quantity = (350 - 200)/6 = Rs. 25

∴ The selling price for remaining quantity is Rs. 25.
