A) Rs.165.50	B) Rs.1700	C) Rs. 175.50	D) Rs. 180	E) None
Solution   Since first second varieties are mixed in equal proportions, so their average price = Rs.(126+135/2) = Rs.130.50   So, the mixture is formed by mixing two varieties, one at Rs. 130.50 per kg and the other at say, Rs. x per kg in the ratio 2 : 2, i.e., 1 : 1. We have to find x.   x-143/22.50 = 1 =â€º x - 143 = 22.50 =â€º x=165.50.   Hence, price of the third variety = Rs.165.50 per kg.   Rs.165.50nswer Rs.165.50
