Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 ie 11.25

Quantity                Profit

35%         7             +25%

40%         8             +6.25%

25%         5               0

100 → 125 (-15% / -18.75) (106.25)

Applying weighted average 

= 225/20 = 11.25
