we take ,C.P of grapes =x ,and C.P of sapotas is=y .
then Total C.P of grapes as for profit 20%=x*100/(100+20)
and Total C.P of Sapotas as for profit 25%=Y*100/(100+25)
and now,we know the ratio of the sold numbers of Grapes & Sapotas is=4:1
therefore, The total number of cost price of grapes is=(100x/125)*4/5 is=2x/3
as well as the total number of cost price of sapotas is=(100y/125)*1/5 =20y/125
at last ,as for question we know the dealer get equal income so, (2x/3)=(20y/125)
so that,the cost price ratio=x/y=(20*3)/(2*125)=6/25 ...so the ratio is 6:25 (ans)
