a merchant has 1000 kg of sugar part of which he sells at 8 % profit and the rest at 18 % profit . he gains 14 % on the whole . the quantity sold at 18 % profit is ?
"by the rule of alligation : profit of first part profit of second part so , ratio of 1 st and 2 nd parts = 4 : 6 = 2 : 3 . quantity of 2 nd kind = ( 3 / 5 x 1000 ) kg = 600 kg answer : c"
multiply(multiply(add(const_2, const_3), const_2), multiply(subtract(add(divide(14, const_100), const_1), add(const_1, divide(8, const_100))), 1000))
