Answer : 2. "8%"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 8% Explanation: Let the shopkeeper buy 300g for Rs.300. Now he sells 100g for Rs.110, another 100g for Rs120, and the rest 100g for Rs94.    Therefore, the total amount he receives = Rs.110 + Rs.120 + Rs.94 = 324.    Therefore, the shopkeeper spends Rs.300 and gets back Rs.324.   Therefore, his profit percentage = 24300x100 % = 8%
