  1. Answer:

    Answer

    Let cost price of 1g sugar be Rs.1

    Assume he sells 1000g sugar.

    Since he uses false weight he actually sells only 950 g sugar.

    Therefore actual cost price for him is Rs.950.

    Selling price =Rs.1000.

    Profit percentage=

    950

    (1000−950)

    ×100

    =

    19

    100

    %
