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=$$60 imes7$$.
=Rs. 420.
Cost of tea of variety 105 Rs/kg=$$105 imes2$$.
=Rs. 210.
Total cost=420+210.
=630.
Selling price=$$9 imes100$$.
=900.
Profit percentage=$$frac{900-630}{630} imes100$$.
=$$frac{300}{7}$$.
=$$42frac{6}{7}$$.
Hence, Option D is correct.
