Correct Answer: 125 gm
Solution : Let's denote the weights of Assam, Darjeeling, and Nilgiri Hills teas in the first blend as $2x$, $3x$, and $x$ respectively. Similarly, let the weights of Darjeeling, Nilgiri Hills, and Kangra Valley teas in the second blend be $5y$, $4y$, and $3y$ respectively. According to the question, $2x+3x+x=5y+4y+3y$ ⇒ $6x = 12 y$ ⇒ $x=2y$ The weight of Kangra Valley tea in the second blend is $3y$, and the total weight of the blend is $12y + 6x = 24y$ So, the weight of Kangra Valley tea per kilogram $=\frac{3y}{24y}\times 1000 =\frac{1}{8}\times 1000=125$ gm Hence, the correct answer is 125 gm.
