Alligation or Mixture problems
Fresh fruit contains 72 % water and dry fruits contains 20 % water. How much dry fruit from 100 kg of fresh fruit can be obtained?
As per the given question , We are concerned with solid part of the fruit (pure portion). Assume Q kg of dry fruit is obtained.? Solid part in fresh fruit = Solid part in dry fruit? 0·28 × 100 = 0·8 × Q? Q = 35 kg? 35 kg of dry fruit can be obtained from 100 kg fresh fruit.
Ratio of milk and water = 2 : 1
Quantity of milk = 60 X 2/3 = 40 litre
Quantity of water = 20 litre
To make ratio, 1: 2, we have to double the water that of milk
So, water should be 80 litre.
That means 80 ? 20 = 60 litre water to be added.

According to question , Total C. P. of 200 kg of mixture = Rs. (80 × 6·75 + 120 × 8)Total C. P. of 200 kg of mixture = Rs. 1500Average rate = Rs. 7·50 per kgRequired rate = 120% of Rs. 7·50Required rate = Rs. 9 per kg.
