Alligation or Mixture problems
A mixture contains spirit and water in the ratio of 3 : 2. If it contains 3 litres more spirit than water, the quantity of spirit in the mixture is
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.
Let cost price of spirit be Re. 1 per liter. Then SP of mixture = Re. 1 per liter Gain = 25% So, CP of mixture = 1 × (100 / 125) = Re. 4 / 5We assume that CP of water is zero. Using allegation rule on cost price, Water should be mixed to spirit in the ratio (1 / 5) : (4 / 5) or 1 : 4
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.
