Fatima mixes two teas costing ₹120 per kg and ₹150 per kg. She sells the mixture at ₹165 per kg and makes a 25% profit. In what ratio (cheaper : dearer) did she mix them?

Explanation

1. 01

   Cost price of the mixture = $\frac{165}{1.25} = 132$ rupees per kg.

2. 02

   Cheaper : dearer = $(150 - 132) : (132 - 120) = 18 : 12$.

3. 03

   = $3 : 2$.
