A trader has 100 kg of rice, part of which he sells at 14% profit and rest at 6% loss. On the whole his loss is 4%. How much quantity is sold at 14% profit and that at 6% loss?

Hence, ratio of quantity sold at 14% profit and 6% loss = 2 : 18 = 1 : 9
Hence, rice sold at 14% profit = (100 × 1)/10 = 10 kg
Rice sold at 6% loss = 90 kg.
Hence, option (a).
