Q. A milkman purchase the milk at Rs. x per litre and sells it at Rs. 2x per litre still he mixes 2 litres water with every 6 litres of pure milk. What is the profit percentage?

(A) 116%

(B) 166.66%

(D) 100%

Correct Answer - Option(B)

Explanation by: Neha Sharma

Let the cost price of 1 litre pure milk be Rs. 1, then
for 6 litres (milk) CP = Rs. 6
for 2 litres (Water) CP = Rs. 0

and for 8 litres mixture SP = 8 x 2 = Rs.16

Profit = [(16-6) / 6] x 100 = 1000 / 6 = 166.66 %
