First split 50 in the ratio 2:3 so u get 20l of yellow and 30l of blue. Since tins of yellow are 5l, there are 4 yellow tins which cost 4x26=104. Since tins of blue are 10l, there are 3 blue tins which cost 3x48=144. Adding these means the total cost is 248

#

If green tins are 10l, then there are 5 green tins which earn 5x66.96=334.80

#

Profit is 334.80-248=86.80

#

Profit % is profit/cost x100%=35%
