Option 4 : Either of them alone is sufficient.

From I:

Let CP of 1 kg of pure wheat = Rs. 1

Then SP of kg of mixture = Rs. 1 and gain = 25%

CP of 1 kg of mixture = 1 × 100/125 = Rs. 4/5

Ratio of wheat to impurity = 4/5 : 1/5 = 4 : 1

Percentages impurity = 1/ (4 + 1) × 100 = 20%

Hence, statement I alone is sufficient.

From II:

Amount of mixture = 45 kg and amount of impurity is z kg.

Given –

⇒ 5/2 × z = 150% of 2/3 × 45

⇒ z = (150 × 2 × 45 × 2)/ (100 × 3 × 5)

⇒ z = 18

% impurity = 18/45 × 100 = 40%

Hence, statement II alone is sufficient.

From III:

Let total quantity of mixture = 5z and quantity of pure wheat = 3z.

Quantity of impurity in the mixture = 5z – 3z = 2z

% impurity = 2z/5z × 100 = 40%

Hence, statement III alone is sufficient.
