Item 1: $11\times x=12$

Item 4: $22\times y= 6$

$\dfrac{x}{y} =\dfrac{12\times 22}{11\times 6} = 4:1$

Total exports = $5$ lakh tonnes
Total revenue = $250$ Crores

Item_1 total export $= 5 lakh*.11 = 55,000 tonnes = 5,50,00,000 kg$
Item_1 total revenue $= 250*.12=30 crores = 30,000,0000$
Item_1 revenue/kg = $\frac{30,000,0000}{55,000,00} = \frac{60}{11}$

Item_2 total export $= 5 lakh*0.22 = 1,10,000 tonnes = 1,10,000,000 kg$
Item_2 total revenue $= 250*0.06=15 crores = 15,000,0000$
Item_2 revenue/kg = $\frac{15,000,0000}{ 1,10,000,000} = \frac{15}{11}$

$\text{Item_1 revenue : Item_2 revenue}$
$=\frac{60}{11} : \frac{15}{11}$
$=4:1$

for item1

exports 500000 ⨉11/100 =55000

When export 55 kg  revenue 30,00,00,000

                    1   "        "        5454545.4545

for item 4

export 500000⨉22/100 = 110000

revenues 2500000000⨉ 6/100 =15,00,00,000

110 kg then revenue 15,00,00,000

1    "    "        "   1363636.36364

item1 revenue/kg : item4 revenue/kg =4:1
