    if we try to calculate the 2nd question (RHS) with the LHS technique. the result will not come as below

    Sales mix : 12 : 3 or 0.80 : 0.20
    Product 1 : Weigted average sales : 12 x 0.80 = 9.6
    Product 1 : Weigted average cont : 7.2 x 0.80 = 5.76

    Product 2 : Weigted average sales : 3 x 0.20 = 0.6
    Product 1 : Weigted average cont : 1.5 x 0.20 = 0.30

    Total weighted average sales : 9.60 + 0.60 = 10.20
    Total weighted average cont : 5.76 + 0.30 = 6.06

    Thus, weighted average CMR : 0.5941 (6.06 / 10.20)

    Breakeven Sales : 5800,000 / 0.5941 = 9,762,667/-

    Whereas the actual Soln : 5800,000 / 0.58 = 10,000,000/-
