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.
