Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The cost of two varieties of tea is ₹300 and ₹375 respectively.

Both varieties of tea are mixed together in the ratio 3 ∶ 2

According to the question,

Both the varieties are mixed = 3(300) + 2(375) = 900 + 750 = ₹1650 for 5 kg

For 5 kgs the mixture is of ₹1650 then
