Answer» Let pure oil = x litres and other oil = y litres Profit=20% Cost of pure oil is Rs. 100x and Cost of other oil is Rs. 50y. Total Cost price (CP) = Rs. (100x + 50y) Now, the shopkeeper sellmixture = (x+y) litres of adulterated oil at the rate of 96 Rs/litres. Total Sale Price (SP) = 96(x+y) = 96 x + 96y Profit = SP-CP = [96x+96y] - [100x+50y] = 46y-4x

Answer»

Let pure oil = x litres and

other oil = y litres

Profit=20%

Cost of pure oil is Rs. 100x and

Cost of other oil is Rs. 50y.

Total Cost price (CP) = Rs. (100x + 50y)

Now, the shopkeeper sellmixture = (x+y) litres of adulterated oil at the rate of 96 Rs/litres.

Total Sale Price (SP) = 96(x+y) = 96 x + 96y

Profit = SP-CP = [96x+96y] - [100x+50y] = 46y-4x
