Solution
Total C.P. of 60 kg of sugar
= Rs. $(36 \times 45 + 24 \times 40)$
= Rs. $(1620 + 960)$ = Rs. $2580$
Total S.P. = $2580 \times \frac{120}{100}$
= Rs. $3096$
$\therefore$ S.P. per kg = $\frac{3096}{60}$
= Rs. $51.60$

Sugar= 36 kg Rate= 45 per kg = 36×45= 1680
Sugar=24kg Rate= 40 per kg= 24×40=1008
1680+1008= 2628
2628×120%= 3153.6
36+24=60
3153.6÷60= 51.60
Ans= Rs. 51.60
