let the sugar and water be X
4x + X = 1000g
5x = 1000g
X= 1000g/5
X= 200g
then 200g sugar should be added.
4x + X = 1000g
5x = 1000g
X= 1000g/5
X= 200g
then 200g sugar should be added.

Answer:
.24 kg
Step-by-step explanation
4:1 ratio so at first, amount of sugar= (1/5)X2 = 0.4 kg
let, X amount of sugar is to be added
now, X + 0.4 = (2/7) X (2+X)
7x + 2.8 = 4 + 2x
5x = 1.2
x = 0.24 kg
