8.How many kgs of Basmati rice costing Rs.42/kg should a shopkeeper mix with 25 kgs of ordinary rice costing Rs.24 per kg so that he makes a profit of 25% on selling the mixture at Rs.40/kg?
Ans : Let the amount of Basmati rice being mixed be x kgs. As the trader makes 25% profit by selling the mixture at Rs.40/kg, his cost /kg of the mixture = Rs.32/kg
(x * 42) + (25 * 24) = 32 (x + 25)
42x + 600 = 32x + 800
10x = 200 or x = 20 kgs
9.A certain sum of money amounts to Rs1125 in 5 years and to Rs1200 in 8 years. Find the sum and the rate of interest.
