There are 25 bags of wheat of each weighing 40kg cost Rs. 2750.
So total weight of wheat is 25*40 = 1000 kg
So cost per kg = 2750/1000 = Rs 2.75
Since total weight of 35 bags each weight of 50kg = 35*50 = 1750 kg
 So cost of these 35 bags are 1750*2.75 = Rs 4812.5
 
Hope it clears. If still  you have doubt you can ask me. If you like answer then please approve it.

Dear student
You can solve this question by simple unitary method (Or)
40 kg will cost you Rs 2750
1kg will cost you (2750/40)=Rs 68.75
35 kg will cost you (35*68.75) =Rs2406.25
 
I hope this answer helps you
