Sohan sells sugar at the cost price but uses false weights, thus gaining 28% profit. How many grams of sugar is he giving for 3.2 kg of sugar?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 2500.

Given that

Sohan sells sugar at the cost price but uses false weights, thus gaining 28% profit

According to the question

The fraction value of 28% = 28/100 = 7/25

Let the cost price of sugar be 25 units

the selling price of sugar = 25 + 7 = 32 units

Now, 32 units = 3.2 kg = 3200 grams

⇒ 1 unit = 100 grams

⇒ 25 units = 2500 grams

Hence, He sells the original quantity of sugar is 2500 grams
