Solution

Let wholesaler mixed 7 kg and 2 kg of tea of variety 60 Rs/kg and 105 Rs/kg respectively.
Cost of tea of variety 60 Rs/kg=$60\times7$.
=Rs. 420.
Cost of tea of variety 105 Rs/kg=$105\times2$.
=Rs. 210.
Total cost=420+210.
=630.
Selling price=$9\times100$.
=900.
Profit percentage=$\frac{900-630}{630}\times100$.
=$\frac{300}{7}$.
=$42\frac{6}{7}$.
Hence, Option D is correct.
