Correct answer is : Rs. 14.85

Explanation:

Total weight of the mixture
= 40 + 25 = 65 kg

Total cost price of wheat
= Rs. (40 x 12.50 + 25 × 15.10)
= Rs. (500 + 377.50) = Rs. 877.50
Total selling price of wheat
= Rs.\(\frac{877.50 \times 110}{100}\)
= Rs. 965.25
\(\therefore\)SP per kg = Rs.\(\frac{965.25}{65}\)
= Rs. 14.85

Answer is : 13 : 12 : 12

Explanation :

Total equivalent capital of A = 5x × 12 + 8x × 12 = Rs. 156x

Total equivalent capital of B for 1 month= 6x × 24 = Rs. 144x

Total equivalent capital of C = 8x × 12 + 4x × 12 = Rs. 144x

Required ratio = A : B : C

= 156x : 144x : 144x

= 13 : 12 : 12
