Solution

Given that,
The ratio of tomatoes, potatoes and onions is $6 : 9 : 5$ in gram
We know that,
$1 k g = 1000 g$
$∴$ $2 k g = 2000 g$
Sum of the given ratio $6 + 9 + 5 = 20 g$
$20 g = 2000$
$1 g = 100$
Tomatoes $= 6 \times 100 = 600 g$
potatoes $= 9 \times 100 = 900 g$
And onions $= 5 \times 100 = 500 g$
