A sells vegetables at a profit of 35% and for weighing uses a weight which is 10% less than the article weight. What is total profit percentage?
Let cost price of 1 kg of vegetable = Rs. 1000 Â (1 gm cost Re. 1)
Weight used by A = $$1000-(\frac{10}{100}\times1000)=900$$ gm
=> Cost price of 1 kg vegetable (900 gm in reality) = Rs. 900
Selling price after 35% profit = $$1000+(\frac{35}{100}\times1000)=Rs.$$ $$1350$$
$$\therefore$$ Profit % = $$\frac{(1350-900)}{900}\times100$$
=Â $$\frac{450}{9}=50\%$$
=> Ans - (A)
