Greetings!!

For solving this problem, you can make approach through 2 methods. First is by assuming the quantity of rice in the mixture to be fixed and second one which is descripted below.

Let the amount of rice be 2 x and 3 x

For rice of amount 2 x , cost price per kg= Rs7

For rice in amount 3 x , cost price per kg= Rs y (say)

So, the cost price of the mixture = 7x 2 x + y x 3 x

Selling price of the mixture= 12 x 5 x = 60 x

profit = 20% of CP

therefore, SP = CP + Profit

Solve the equation, you will get the answer Rs 14.9 .
