A) 6% B) 8%
C) 10% D) 12%

Answer:   B) 8%



Explanation:

Let the shopkeeper buy 300g for Rs.300. Now he sells 100g for Rs.110, another 100g for Rs120, and the rest 100g for Rs94. 

 

Therefore, the total amount he receives = Rs.110 + Rs.120 + Rs.94 = 324. 

 

Therefore, the shopkeeper spends Rs.300 and gets back Rs.324.

 

Therefore, his profit percentage = 24300x100 % = 8%
