D Correct answer
Explanation

Total cost = (25 * 6) + (35 * 7) = 150 + 245 = 395. Total weight = 25 + 35 = 60 kg. Selling price = 60 * 6.75 = 405. Gain = 405 - 395 = 10.

AI explanation

The total cost price for the 60 kg of rice is (25 times 6) plus (35 times 7), equalling 150 plus 245 for a sum of Rs 395. The total selling price is 60 times 6.75, which equals Rs 405. The gain is the selling price minus the cost price, so 405 minus 395 yields a gain of Rs 10.
