Correct Answer: 2 : 7


Solution : Let the quantity of wheat priced INR 23 be $x$ kg and the quantity of wheat priced INR 14 be $y$ kg.
According to the question,
$\frac{100+25}{100}×(23x+14y)=20(x+y)$
$⇒23x+14y=16x+16y$
$⇒7x=2y$
$\therefore \frac{x}{y}=\frac{2}{7}$
Hence, the correct answer is 2 : 7.
