A dishonest shopkeeper claims to sell rice
A dishonest shopkeeper claims to sell rice at the cost price of ₹95 per kg, but the weight he uses has 1 kg written on it, while it actually weighs 950 gm. The profit he thus earns on selling rice having an actual weight of 95 kg rice is:
एक बेईमान दुकानदार ₹ 95 प्रति किलोग्राम के क्रय मूल्य पर चावल बेचने का दावा करता है, लेकिन वह जो वजन इस्तेमाल करता है, जिस पर 1 kg लिखा होता है, वास्तव में उसका वजन 950 gm ही होता है। इस प्रकार 95 kg वास्तविक वजन वाले चावल को बेचने पर उसे कितना लाभ होगा?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Rs 475
Cost price per kg of rice = 95
Actual weight per "1 kg" sold = 950 gm = 0.95kg
Selling price of 0.95 kg rice (charged as 1 kg) = 95₹
Cost price of 0.95 kg rice = $ 0.95 \times 95 = 90.25$₹
Profit per "1 kg" sold = 95 - 90.25 = 4.75$₹
Number of "1 kg" weights in 95 kg actual rice = $ \frac{95}{0.95} = 100 $
Total profit = $ 100 \times 4.75 = 475₹ $
