B Correct answer
Explanation

Wheat: 5 kg * 70 = 350 cost. Selling price = 350 * 1.1 = 385. Sugar: 10 kg * 80 = 800 cost. Selling price = 800 * 1.2 = 960. Total = 385 + 960 = 1345.

AI explanation

The cost price of the wheat is 5 times 70, which equals Rs. 350, and the cost price of the sugar is 10 times 80, which equals Rs. 800. Using the selling price formula SP = CP times (100 + P) divided by 100, the selling price of the wheat is 350 times 1.10, which is Rs. 385. The selling price of the sugar is 800 times 1.20, which is Rs. 960. The total sales revenue is 385 plus 960, which equals Rs. 1,345.
