CAT 2020 Quant Question [Slot 3] with Solution 07

Let the CP and MP of each kg of sugar be 10x and 12x respectively.

Total cost price \( = 35 \times 10x = 350x\)

Total selling price \( = 35 \times 10 \times  \times 1.15 = 402.5x\)

Selling price already realized \( = 5 \times 12x + 15 \times 12x \times \) \(0.9 + 3 \times 0 + 12 \times 12x \times (1 + p/100) = 402.5x\)

\(60 + 162 + 0 + 144(1 + p/100) = 402.5\)

\(p = 25.34\%  \approx 25\% \)
