B.

1 : 2

C.

1 : 3

D.

2 : 3

Correct option is B

Given:
Cost of first type of rice = Rs. 8.30 per kg
Cost of second type of rice = Rs. 5.30 per kg
Cost of mixture = Rs. 6.30 per kg
Formula Used:
The formula for the mixture problem is:
Ratio = (C2 - Cm) / (Cm - C1)
Where:
C1 = Cost of first type of rice
C2 = Cost of second type of rice
Cm = Cost of mixture
Solution:
Ratio=5.306.306.308.30=12=12\text{Ratio} = \frac{5.30 - 6.30}{6.30 - 8.30} = \frac{-1}{-2} = \frac{1}{2}
