Alligation or Mixture problems
From the 50 liters of milk, 5 liters of milk is taken out and after it 5 liters of water is added to the rest amount of milk. Again 5 liters of milk and water is drawn out and it was replaced by 5 liters of water. If this process is continued similarly for the third time, the amount of milk left after the third replacement:
General Formula: Final or reduced concentration = initial concentration x 1 - a m o u n t b e i n g r e p l a c e d i n e a c h o p e r a t i o n t o t a l a m o u n t n where n is the number of times the same operation is being repeated. The "amount being replaced" could be pure or mixture as per the case. similarly ,"total amount" could also be either pure or mixture. Here amount being replaced denotes the quantity which is to be withdrawn in each time. Therefore, 50 × 1 - 5 50 3 = 36.45 L
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.
S.P. of 1 kg of the mixture = Rs. 68.20, Gain = 10%. C.P. of 1 kg of the mixture = Rs. ❨ 100 x 68.20 ❩ = Rs. 62. 110 By the rule of alligation, we have: Cost of 1 kg tea of 1st kind. Cost of 1 kg tea of 2nd kind. Rs. 60 Mean Price Rs. 62 Rs. 65 3 2 ∴ Required ratio = 3 : 2.
