Two distinct qualities of wheat, one priced at ₹90 per kilogram and the other at ₹135 per kilogram, are mixed in an undisclosed proportion. The resultant blend is sold at ₹150 per kilogram, securing a profit margin of 25% on the overall cost price. Determine the ratio in which the two wheat varieties were mixed.
