    A 40 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 35 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 45 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let price of costlier sugar  = x Rs./Kg So net price = 35 = (2   20 + 3   x) / (2 + 3) So (40 + 3x) / 5 = 35 or 40 + 3x = 175 or x = 135/3 x =  45 Alternate Method :   So (x - 35) / 15 = 2/3  So x = 35 + 10 = 45 Rs/Kg
