Alligation or Mixture problems
A person has two solutions of sugar with 30% and 50% concentration respectively. In what proportion should he mix two solutions to get 45% concentration in the resulting mixture?
Here total parts of milk and water in the solution is 6+2 = 8 parts. 1part = 640/8 = 80 old mixture contains 6parts of milk and 2 parts of water(6:2). To get new mixture containing half milk and half water, add 4parts of water to the old mixture then 6:(2+4) to make the ratio same. i.e, 4 x 80 = 320 ml.
Let the price per kg of mixed variety be Rs. P; then By the rule of alligation,Now, (20 - P) / (P - 15) = (2 / 3) ? 60 ? 3P = 2P ? 30 ? 5P = 90 ? P = Rs. 18
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.
Wine Water 8L 32L 1 : 4 20 % 80% (original ratio) 30 % 70% (required ratio) In ths case, the percentage of water being reduced when the mixture is being replaced with wine. so the ratio of left quantity to the initial quantity is 7:8 Therefore , 7 8 = 1 - K 40 => K = 5 Lit
