    Total cost price= 72*7+87*33+85.35 = Rs.6350
    Now it is sold at a profit of 15%.
    6350*1.15=Rs.7302.5
    Total weight of tea=7+33+35=75 Kg
    Hence Selling price of Tea per Kg =7302.5/75 = Rs. 97.37 😁

    Hence I will go with option 'd'.

    Lots of calculation. Got the same answer "d". Can you suggest any easier method? Is calculator allowed in CAT? If yes, then solving this will become very easy as no tricky thing in here!
