We have 6 kg of sugar costing 10rs/kg.
Hence we have 6kg of sugar whose price is 6*10=60rs
Also we have 9 kg of sugar costing 15 rs/kg.
Hence we have 9 kg of sugar whose price is 9*15=135rs
Hence the total sugar is 6+9=15 kg
And the total cost of sugar is 60+135=195rs
Hence the price would be 195/15=19 rs /kg.
