Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. ₹330.
Given that
The cost of two varieties of tea is ₹300 and ₹375 respectively.
Let the quantity of these varities be 3x kgand 2x kg respectively.
Calculation
The total cost of these varieites of tea = 300 × 3x + 375 × 2x = 900x + 750x = ₹1650x
Total quantity of tea after mixing = 3x + 2x = 5x
Hence, the price of mixed variety of tea per kg = ₹1650x/5x = ₹330
