The first one is Rs.4/=

because 1000Kg xRs.3=3000, freight Rs. 400 Total Rs.3400

Loss 15% 0f 1000=150 Kgs.

Balance 850Kgs

hence Rs.3400/850 Kgs=Rs.4

correct me if iam wrong.

The second one may be Rs.15,00,000.

1000 box X Rs.2000 = Rs.20,00,000

1/10 of 1000= 100 box

Balance 900 box

2/3rd of 900 box= 600 box

600 box X Rs.2000=12,00,000

25% margin= 12,00,000 *25%= 3,00,000

so the Ans. is Rs.12,00,000+ Rs.3,00,000= Rs.15,00,000.

correct it if iam wrong.

Q1

	DESCRIPTION	KGS	AMOUNT

	CONSIGNED @ 3 P/KG	1000	3000
	NORMAL LOSS 15%	150

	COST	850	3000
	ADD: FREIGHT		400
	TOTAL	850	3400

	So, Cost per KG =	3400
		850

		.= Rs. 4 Per KG
