  Explanation :-
  Cost Price = 20*30 + 40*40 = 2200
  1/3 of 60 = 20;
  Selling Price = 20*35 + 40x
  
  Since P% = ((SP-CP)/CP)*100
  On putting the values
  x = 51.25

• 20kg price=20*30=600,
  40kg price=40*40=1600,
  ----------------------------------------------
  total quantity=60kg
  and total price=2200,
  he sells 1/3of it35rs/kg,
  and (1/3)*60=20quentity,
  20quentity has sell=20*35=700,
  we have 60-20=40quentity=2200-700=1500ru,
  he will be sell (125/100)*1500=1875rupe,
  40 quqntity has sell=1875,
  1 quantity has sell=1875/40=46.875rupes
