  2. B 60 Kg
  3. C 100 Kg
  4. D 30 Kg
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 60 Kg

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(x\) be the quantity sold at \(10\% \) profit. \(0.10x - 0.05(300 - x) = 0.07(300)\) \(0.10x - 15 + 0.05x = 21\) \(0.15x = 36\) \(x = \frac{36}{0.15} = 240 \text{ Kg}\) Quantity sold at \(5\% \) loss \( = 300 - 240 = 60 \text{ Kg}\)
