D Correct answer
Explanation

Total CP = (35 * 100) + (15 * 120) = 3500 + 1800 = 5300. Total weight = 35 + 15 = 50 kg. Total SP = 50 * 106 = 5300. Since CP = SP, there is no profit and no loss.

AI explanation

Calculate the total cost price by multiplying the quantities by their respective rates, giving (35 kg multiplied by Rs. 100/kg) plus (15 kg multiplied by Rs. 120/kg) for a sum of Rs. 3500 plus Rs. 1800, which equals Rs. 5300. The total selling price is the total quantity of 50 kg multiplied by the selling rate of Rs. 106/kg, which also equals Rs. 5300. Because the total cost price exactly matches the total selling price, the transaction results in no profit and no loss.
