c) 8%
d) 10%

Answer: b
Explanation:
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{C}}{\text{.P}}{\text{. of 56 kg rice}} \cr & = {\text{ }}Rs.{\text{ }}\left( {26{\text{ }} \times {\text{ }}20{\text{ }} + {\text{ }}30{\text{ }} \times {\text{ }}36} \right) \cr & = {\text{ }}Rs.{\text{ }}\left( {520{\text{ }} + {\text{ }}1080} \right) \cr & = {\text{ }}Rs.{\text{ }}1600 \cr & {\text{S}}{\text{.P}}{\text{. of 56 kg rice}} \cr & = {\text{ }}Rs.{\text{ }}\left( {56{\text{ }} \times {\text{ }}30} \right) \cr & = {\text{ }}Rs.{\text{ }}1680 \cr & \therefore {\text{Gain}} = \left( {\frac{{80}}{{1600}} \times 100} \right)\% \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 5\% \cr} $$
