Let X be the weight of wheat sold at 5% profit, then $$Rightarrow frac{105}{100} imes X + frac{111}{100} imes (1200-x) = frac{107}{100} imes 1200$$ $$Rightarrow 1.05 imes X + 1.11 imes (1200-X) = 1.07 imes 1200$$ $$Rightarrow 1.05 imes X - 1.11 imes X = 1.07 imes 1200 - 1.11 imes 1200$$
$$Rightarrow -0.6 imes X = -480$$ $$Rightarrow X = 800$$ so the answer is option D.
