Alligation or Mixture problems
An alloy is made by mixing metal A costing Rs 2000/kg and metal B costing Rs 400/kg in the ratio A:B = 3:1. What is the cost (in Rs) of 8 kilograms of this alloy?
Given rate of wheat at cheap = Rs. 2.90/kg Rate of wheat at cost = Rs. 3.20/kg Mixture rate = Rs. 3/kg Ratio of mixture = 2.90 3.20 3 (3.20 - 3 = 0.20) (3 - 2.90 = 0.10) 0.20 : 0.10 = 2:1 Hence, wheat at Rs. 3.20/kg be mixed with wheat at Rs. 2.90/kg in the ratio of 2:1, so that the mixture be worth Rs. 3/kg.
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.
w i n e ( l e f t ) w i n e ( a d d e d ) = 343 169 It means w i n e ( l e f t ) w i n e ( i n i t i a l a m o u n t ) = 343 512 (since 343 + 169 = 512) Thus, 343 x = 512 x 1 - 15 k 3 343 512 = 7 8 3 = 1 - 15 k 3 1 - 15 k = 7 8 = 1 - 1 8 Thus the initial amount of wine was 120 liters.
Let initially milk and water in container B is 3x liter and x liter respectively
Now, 3x + (8/9) × 18 ? x ? (1/9) × 18 = 30
3x + 16 ? x ? 2 = 30
x = 8
Initial quantity is container B = 8 (3 + 1) = 32 Liter.
