Alligation or Mixture problems
A man pays Rs. 6.40 per litre of milk. He adds water and sells the mixture at Rs. 8 per litre, thereby making 37.5% profit. The proportion of water to milk received by the customers is
Customer ratio of Milk and Water is given by Milk :: Water 6.4 0 8 1 + 3 8 = 64 11 64 11 64 10 - 64 11 => Milk : Water = 110 : 11 = 10 : 1 Therefore, the proportionate of Water to Milk for Customer is 1 : 10
Let us assume that the lotion has 50% alcohol and 50% water.ratio = 1:1As the total solution is 9mlalcohol = water = 4.5mlNow if we want the quantity of alcohol = 30%The quantity of water = 70%The new ratio = 3:7Let x ml of water be addedWe get, 4 . 5 4 . 5 + x = 3 7 => x=6Hence 6ml of water is added.
Ratio of milk and water = 2 : 1Quantity of milk = 60 X 2/3 = 40 litreQuantity of water = 20 litreTo make ratio, 1: 2, we have to double the water that of milkSo, water should be 80 litre.That means 80 ? 20 = 60 litre water to be added.
According to figure we can find that the ration would be 1 : 7.Quantity sold at 10% profit = 1 / (1 + 7)× 160 = 20 kgs. Quantity sold at 6% loss = (160 ? 20) = 140 kgs.
