Alligation or Mixture problems
20 kg of a mixture of wheat and husk contains 5% husk. How many kg more of husk must be added to make the husk content 20% in the new mixture?
Profit (%) = 9.09 % = 1/11 Since the ratio of water and milk is 1 : 11, Therefore the ratio of water is to mixture = 1:12 Thus the quantity of water in mixture of 1 liter = 1000 x (1/12) = 83.33 ml
Milk Water 74% 26% (initially) 76% 24% ( after replacement) Left amount = Initial amount 1 - r e p l a c e d a m o u n t t o t a l a m o u n t 24 = 26 1 - 7 k => k = 91
