Shovik purchases two types of sugar: the first type at Rs.45 per kg and the second type at Rs.80 per kg. In what ratio should Shovik blend the first type of sugar with the second type so that, by selling each kg of the blended sugar at Rs.72 per kg, he makes a profit of 20%?

4 : 3

CP of mixture of sugar = CP x \(\frac{120}{100}\) = 72,

CP = Rs. 60.

⇒ Ratio in which sugar 1 and sugar 2 should be blend to sell in at Rs. 72 to make 20% profit is = 20 : 15 = 4 : 3.
