Flour Sugar
Quantity. 5 : 3
Price. 3 : 7
------. -------
15. 21
15 + 21 = Rs 36
Total quantity =5 + 3 = 8kg costs Rs. 36
Profit 66 2/3 we can say out of 2 = 3 profit
2+3=5 ------ 3 profit
So, 15 ---------- 9 profit
So quantity of 8 kg multiplying 9 = Rs72
But, it also gives Rs. 36 so, 1-------Rs 2
Therefore cp of sugar = 7 *2=14
And xp of flour =3*2=6
