A Correct answer
Explanation

Total cost = (25 * 29) + (25 * 20) = 725 + 500 = 1225. Total weight = 50 kg. Selling price = 50 * 27 = 1350. Profit = 1350 - 1225 = 125.

AI explanation

The total cost of the 50 kg of rice is (25 times 29) plus (25 times 20), which equals 725 plus 500 for a sum of Rs 1225. The total selling price is 50 times Rs 27, resulting in Rs 1350. The profit is the selling price minus the cost price, which is 1350 minus 1225 to yield Rs 125.
