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.
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
W 1 : A 1 W 2 : A 2 . . . . . W N : A N 2 : 3 4 : 5 5 : 7 W 1 W 1 + A 1 = 2 5 W 2 W 2 + A 2 = 4 9 W N W N + A N = 5 12 = 72/180 = 80/180 = 75/180 => 5 : 3 Therefore, the ratio is 5: 3
Profit (%) = 9.09 % = 1/11 Since the ratio of water and milk is 1 : 11, Therefore the ratio of water is to mixture = 1:12 Thus the quantity of water in mixture of 1 liter = 1000 x (1/12) = 83.33 ml
