Answer :-

a) = Let cement, sand and stone in the concrete be x, 2x and 3x,

Each bag of dry concrete is 30 kg,

so,

x + 2x + 3x = 30

or, 6x = 30

so, x = 5

Now,

one bag contaings 2×5 = 10 kg of sand.

He buys just enough sand,stone and cement to make 50 bags of dry concrete,

1 bag = 10 kg sand

50 bags = 10 × 50 kg sand = 500 kg of sand

So,

He buys 500 kg of sand.

b) =

1 bag contains

5 kg of cement, 2×5 = 10 kg of sand and 3×5 = 15 kg of stone,

so,

25 kg of cement = 5.50 euro

5 × 50 kg of cement = 5.50/25 × 250 euro = 55 euro

20 kg of sand = 2 euro

500 kg of sand = 2/20 × 500 euro = 50 euro

15 kg of stone = 3.9 euro

15 × 50 kg = 3.9/15 × 750 euro = 195 euro

Total for 50 bags, he spent 50 + 195 + 55 euro = 300 euro.

He sold it for 396 euro.

His profit percent = (396 - 300)/300 × 100%

So, His profit percent = 32%.
