1. Rs. 54.50
2. Rs. 54.20
3. Rs. 55.40
4. Rs. 52.80

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs. 52.80

Given:

Cost price of 24 kg sugar = Rs.1056

Formula:

Profit = selling price - cost price

Calculation:

Let selling price of sugar per kg be Rs.a

⇒ 4a = 24a - 1056

⇒ a = 52.80

∴ The selling price of a sugar per kg is Rs.52.80
