CP of wheat be Rs.100/kg So, when shopkeeper pays for 1kg wheat, he get 1.1kg of wheat.

CP of shopkeeper is Rs. 1001.1perkg

While selling, he sells 10% less

So, 5p = Rs. 1000.9kg

Profit percent = 1000.91001.11001.1

=22.22percent

  a + 5 b  is collinear with c  

  a + 5 b = c           …(1)

b + 6 c is collinear with a  

⇒   b + 6 c = μ a               …(2)

From (1) and (2)

  b + 6 c = μ ( λ c 5 b )          

-> ( 1 + 5 μ ) b + ( 6 λ μ ) c = 0
