Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 33.33%

Given:

Raju bought 50 kg of rice at a discount of 10%

The shopkeeper offered 10 kg rice for free  

Formula used:

Profit % = (Profit/Cost price) × 100

Calculation:

Let the cost of rice be Rs. x per kg

⇒ Price of 50 kg rice = Rs. 50x

But he bought it at a discount of 10%

⇒ Cost Price of Rice for Raju = Rs. (50x × 90/100 ) = Rs. 45x

⇒ The price of extra 10 kg rice = Rs. 10x

Raju didn’t paid Rs. 10x though he got (50 + 10) kg = 60 kg of rice

But he sold the 60 kg rice at a price Rs. 60x

⇒ Profit gained by him = (60x – 45x) = 15x

⇒ Profit percentage = (15x/45x) × 100

⇒ 33.33 %

∴ Raju made 33.33% profit on the whole transaction.
