    Explanation

    Quantity of sugar purchased at Rs 30 per kg = 25 kg Total amount of money spent to buy this quality of sugar = 25 × 30 = 750 Quantity of sugar purchased at Rs 36 per kg = 15 kg Total amount of money spent to buy this quality of sugar = 15 × 36 = 540 Total money spent = 750 + 540 = Rs. 1290 Now, to obtain 10% profit on the deal he needs to earn 10% of 1290 Hence, SP of 40 kg sugar = 1290 + 10% of 1290 = 1290 + (10/100) × 1290 = 1290 + 129 = 1419 We have SP of 40 kg suger = Rs 1419 ∴ SP of 1 kg suger = Rs 1419/40 = Rs. 35.475
