| 1) | 10 kg | 2) | 15 kg | 
| 3) | 20 kg | 4) | 25 kg | 
| 5) | None of these | ||
Answer : 20 kg 
Explanation : Let, the shopkeeper sell x kg at 20% profit. He sell (100 -x) kg at 10% profit.
Explanation : Let, the shopkeeper sell x kg at 20% profit. He sell (100 -x) kg at 10% profit.
So, 120x/100 + 110(100-x)/100 = 100 X 112/100
or 120x - 110x =  (100 X 112 -110 X 100 ) = 200
or 10x = 200 
or x =200/10 = 20 kg.
