1 quintal = 100 kg => 6 quintals = 600 kg Let the part he sold at 17% profit = $$x$$ kg => Part he sold at 7% profit = $$(600 - x)$$ kg Total profit made by the trader = 11% => $$17x + 7 (600 - x) = 11 imes 600$$ => $$17x + (7 imes 600) - 7x = 11 imes 600$$ => $$10x = 600 imes (11 - 7)$$ => $$x = 60 imes 4 = 240$$ kg => Ans - (B)
