Best answer

Let the C.P. of milk be Re. 1 per litre
Milk in 1 litre mix in A = 5/7 litre
Milk in 1 litre mix in B = 8/13 litre
Milk in 1 litre mix. of this mix = 9/13 litre
C.P. of litre mix in A = Rs 5/7
C.P. of 1 litre mix in B = Rs. 8/13
Mean Price = Rs. 9/13
Therefore
Mix in A : Mix in B = 1/13 : 9/91 = 7:2
