A dealer buys dry fruits at Rs. 100, Rs. 80, and Rs. 60 per kilogram. He mixes them in the ratio 3:4:5 by weight and sells at a profit of 50%. At what price per kilogram does he sell the dry fruits?

A. Rs. 80

B. Rs. 100

C. Rs. 95

D. None of these

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let the dealer buys 3 kg, 4 kg and 5 kg.
Price of total dry fruits = 3 × 100 + 4 × 80 + 5 × 60 = Rs. 920
SP = 920 + 50% of 920 = 1380
Hence,
Price of mix dry fruits per kg = $$\frac{{1380}}{{12}}$$ = Rs. 115
