Let the C.P of one item is Rs. P
and that of other is Rs. (7500 - P)

According to the data given
C.P = S.P
=> Px(116/100) + (7500-P)x(86/100) = 7500
=> 30P = 105000
=> P = 3500

Required difference between selling prices
= Rs. [(3500/100) x 116] - [(4000/100) x 86]
= 4060-3440
= Rs. 620

Milk in 1-litre mixture of A = 4/7 litre.

By rule of alligation we have required ratio X:Y   

   X                  :                 Y  

  4/7                                2/5  

           \                      /

              (Mean ratio)
                   (1/2) 

           /                      \

 (1/2 – 2/5)     :       (4/7 – 1/2)  

    1/10                      1/1 4 

So Required ratio = X : Y = 1/10 : 1/14 = 7:5
