    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Cost price of mixture = (180 / 1.5) = Rs. 120 Let 'm' kg and 'n' kg of sugar of grade 'P' and 'Q' respectively be mixed. So, (90m + 150n) ÷ (m + n) = 120 Or, 90m + 150n = 120m + 120n Or, 30m = 30n Or, n:m = 30:30 = 1:1
