The correct answer is (d) 0.50.<\/p>\n

Let $x$ be the proportion of the cheaper tea and $1-x$ be the proportion of the more expensive tea. The total cost of the mixture is then $320x + 560(1-x) = 480$. Solving for $x$, we get $x = \\frac{1}{2} = 0.50$.<\/p>\n

In other words, the grocer must mix 1 part of the cheaper tea with 1 part of the more expensive tea to make a mixture worth Rs. 480 per kg.<\/p>\n

Option (a) is incorrect because it would result in a mixture worth less than Rs. 480 per kg. Option (b) is incorrect because it would result in a mixture worth more than Rs. 480 per kg. Option (c) is incorrect because it is not a valid proportion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
