How many kilograms of sugar costing Rs 9 per kg must be mixed with 27 kg of sugar costing Rs 7 per K...........

Explanation:

C.P. of 1 kg sugar of 1st kind      C.P. of 1 kg sugar of 2nd kind 

                9                                                   7

                                           8.40

              1.40                                               0.60

Ratio of quantities of 1st and 2nd kind = 14 : 6 = 7 : 3. 

Let x kg of sugar of 1st kind be mixed with 27 kg of 2nd kind. 

Then, 7 : 3 = x : 27 or x = (7 x 27 / 3) = 63 kg.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
