Alligation or Mixture problems
A sum of Rs. 41 was divided among 50 boys and girls. Each boy gets 90 paise and a girl 65 paise. The number of boys is ?
Cost price of the mixture = 15 × (100 / 180) = Rs. 25/3 per kg
(Quantity of rice @ Rs. 8 per kg) / (Quantity of rice @ Rs.10 per kg) = (5 / 3) / (1/3) = 1/5
Quantity of rice @ Rs. 10 per kg = 25 × (1/ 5) = 5 kgs.
As per figure we can calculate the ration as belowNumber of officers / Number of workers = 1000 / 7000 = 1 / 7 No. of officers = 1 / (1 + 7) × 400 = 50 No. of workers = 400 ? 50 = 350
