Alligation or Mixture problems
A sum of Rs. 70 is divided among 10 children. Each boy gets Rs. 10 whereas a girl gets Rs. 5. If the number of boys is 4, find the number of girls.
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.
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
