    Explanation

    C.P = Rs 40/kg S.P = Rs. 60/kg Profit % = S.P−CPCP×100\frac{{S.P - CP}}{{CP}} \times 100 =2040×100=50= \frac{{20}}{{40}} \times 100 = 50% Day 2  C.P = Rs. 50/kg S.P = Rs. 60/kg Profit % = S.P−C.PC.P=1050×100=20\frac{{S.P - C.P}}{{C.P}} = \frac{{10}}{{50}} \times 100 = 20% ⇒ Ratio of profit for day 1 and 2 = 50 : 20 = 5 : 2
