- 25 quintals, 35 quintals
- 20 quintals, 40 quintals
- 32 quintals, 28 quintals
- None of these
Correct Option: A
According to question ,
Per quintal cost of two different sorts of rice = | 60 |
Per quintal cost of two different sorts of rice = Rs. 77·375 per quintal
Proportion = | 77·375 – 80 |
Required Proportion = | = 5 : 7 | 2·625 |
The quantity of better sort = | × 5 = 25 quintals | 12 |
And the quantity of worse sort = | × 7 = 35 quintals. | 12 |
