Correct Answer: 10 kg
Solution : Given: Cost price of wheat = Rs. 30 per kg Selling price of 8 kg = Rs. $x$ per kg The selling price of the remaining wheat = Rs. 45 per kg Overall profit percentage = 10% Total cost price = CP = Rs. $30 \times x = 30x$ Profit must be 10% So, SP = $30x \times \frac{110}{100} = 33x$ For the first 8 kg of wheat, the selling price is Rs. $x$ per kg. Selling price of 8 kg = $8 \times x = 8x$ For the remaining wheat, the selling price is Rs. 45 per kg. Remaining quantity = $(x - 8)$ kg According to the question ⇒ $33x = 8x + (x - 8)45$ ⇒ $33x = 8x + 45x - 8 \times 45$ ⇒ $x = 18$ kg Quantity of wheat sold at Rs. 45 per kg = $(x - 8) = 18 - 8 = 10$ kg Therefore, Ritika sold 10 kg of wheat at Rs. 45 per kg. Hence, the correct answer is 10 kg.
