Sonal buys mangoes at the rate of $3 \,kgs$ for $Rs$. $21$ and sells them at $5$ $kgs$ for $Rs.$ $50 .$ To earn a profit of $Rs.\,102,$ he must sell how many mangoes in $kgs$?

A

$34$

B

$52$

C

$26$

D

Solution

$CP$ of each kg mango $=$ $Rs.$ $\frac{21}{3}=$ $Rs. 7$

$SP$ of each $kg$ mango $= Rs . \frac{50}{5}= Rs .10$

Profit $= SP – CP = Rs .3$

$=\frac{1}{3} \times 102=34 kg$
