Solution

Sure, let's break down the problem step by step.

Step 1: Calculate the total cost price. The cost of 10 kg rice at Rs.10/kg = 10 * 10 = Rs.100 The cost of 15 kg rice at Rs.12/kg = 15 * 12 = Rs.180 So, the total cost price = 100 + 180 = Rs.280

Step 2: Calculate the total selling price. The total weight of the rice = 10 kg + 15 kg = 25 kg If the total rice is sold at Rs.16/kg, the total selling price = 25 * 16 = Rs.400

Step 3: Calculate the profit. Profit = Selling price - Cost price = 400 - 280 = Rs.120

Step 4: Calculate the profit percentage. Profit % = (Profit / Cost price) * 100 = (120 / 280) * 100 = 42.86%

So, the answer is b. 42.86% profit.
