Question
A trader has two coffee-chicory mixtures - A and B - with weights 24 kg and 36 kg, respectively, and they have different prices per kg. Equal quantities of mixtures from A and B are removed. The portion taken from A is mixed with the remaining portion of B, and the portion taken from B is mixed with the remaining portion of A. If both resulting mixtures have the same price per kg, then find the initial quantity (in kg) of mixture removed from each.
