A. Rs. 110
B. Rs. 120
C. Rs. 140
D. None of these
Explanation:
Let the cost of the brand be Rs. X per kg.
C.P. of 5 kg = (2 * 200 + 3 * x) = Rs. (400 + 3x)
S.P of 5 kg = Rs. (5 * 177) = Rs. 885
[885 – (400 + 3x)]/(400 + 3x) * 100 = 18
24250 – 150x = 3600 + 27x
177x = 20650 => x = 116 2/3
So, cost of the other brand = Rs. 116.66.
