Answer»

Given that,

Soham mixes 100 kg of sugar at Rs. 20 PER kg with 40 kg of tea at cost PRICE of Rs. 50 per kg.

According to the question,

Cost price of the mixture

$(= \frac{{\left( {100 \TIMES 20} \right) + \left( {40 \times 50} \right)}}{{100 + 40}} = \frac{{2000 + 2000}}{{140}} = \frac{{4000}}{{140}})$

= Rs. 28.5

So, SELLING price will be

$(\frac{{100 + 30}}{{100}} \times 28.5)$

= Rs. 37.05

∴ The sale price of the mixed tea should be Rs. 37.05.
