By mixing two brands of tea and selling the mixture at the rate of Rs. 177 per kg. a shopkeeper makes a profit of 18%. If to every 2 kg of one brand costing Rs. 200 per kg, 3 kg of the other brand is added, then how much per kg does the other brand cost?

ARs. 110
BRs. 120
CP. of 5 kg = (2 * 200 + 3 * x) = Rs. (400 + 3x) S.P of 5 kg = Rs. (5 * 177) = Rs. 885 [885 – (400 + 3x)]/(400 + 3x) * 100 = 18 24250 – 150x = 3600 + 27x 177x = 20650 => x = 116 2/3 So, cost of the other brand = Rs. 116.66.
None of these Explanation: Let the cost of the brand be Rs. X per kg.
