A man mixes two types of rice (X and Y) and sells the mixture at the r...
Statement I: The rate of X is Rs 20 per kg.
Statement II: The rate of Y is Rs 13 per kg.
Profit percentage: Profit percentage can be calculated using the formula:
Profit Percentage = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100
Explanation:
To find the profit percentage, we need to know the cost price and selling price of the rice mixture.
Statement I: The rate of X is Rs 20 per kg.
- This statement provides information about the rate of one type of rice, X.
- However, it does not provide information about the rate of rice Y or the ratio in which X and Y are mixed.
- Therefore, this statement alone is not sufficient to calculate the profit percentage.
Statement II: The rate of Y is Rs 13 per kg.
- This statement provides information about the rate of one type of rice, Y.
- However, it does not provide information about the rate of rice X or the ratio in which X and Y are mixed.
- Therefore, this statement alone is not sufficient to calculate the profit percentage.
Combining both statements:
Even when both statements are combined, we still do not have any information about the ratio in which X and Y are mixed.
Without knowing the ratio, we cannot determine the cost price or selling price of the rice mixture.
Therefore, both statements together are not sufficient to calculate the profit percentage.
Hence, the correct answer is option D - Both I and II are not sufficient to answer.
