Hi Ganesh,
Let the cost price of type A rice be 'a' and the cost price of type B rice be 'b'
C.P = 3a + 2b
S.P = 1.25(3a+2b)
If type A and B are mixed in ratio 2:3, profit is 20%, i.e.
1.2(2a+3b) = 1.25(3a+2b)
a:b = 22:27
Let a = 22x and b = 27x
S.P = 1.25(3a+3b) = 150x
cost price when mixed in 1:4 ratio = a + 4b = 22x + 108x = 130x
profit % = 150x-130x/130x * 100 = 15.38%
Hope this helps!
