The cost of type 1 rice is Rs. 20 per kg and type 2 rice is Rs. 30 per kg. If both Type 1 and Type 2 are mixed in the ratio 2 : 3, then the price per kg of the mixed variety is

Rs.26

The correct answer is Option (1) → Rs.26 **

Type 1 price = Rs. 20/kg

Type 2 price = Rs. 30/kg

Mixing ratio = 2 : 3

Price of mixture = $\frac{2 \times 20 + 3 \times 30}{2 + 3}$

$=\frac{40 + 90}{5}=\frac{130}{5}=26$

Price per kg of mixed rice = Rs. 26
