The answer is 2 : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem description gives the difference between the cost of mix and cost of inferior quality sugar as 0.75 which is the numerator in our relation.

Let ,

x is the total weight of mixture.

y the weight of higher quality sugar in the mixture.

y = 0.75 /higher quality sugar cost - inferior quality sugar cost x

The denominator is just the sum of the two given differences, that is, 1.25.

Thus  

y = 0.75/1.25

OR  

- y = 0.50 /1.25

Thus the ratio of superior and inferior quality sugar is:

(-y):y = 2 : 3
