Alligation or Mixture problems
How much water (in litres) must be added to 80 litres solution of milk and water containing 10% milk, so that it becomes a 5% milk solution?
Suppose the two liquids A and B are 7x litres and 5x litres respectivel Now, when 9 litres of mixture are taken out, Now, when 9 liters of liquid B are added
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.
Average money received by each = 118/50 = Rs. 2.36 Therefore, Ratio of No.of boys and girls = 56 : 24 = 7 : 3 Therefore, Number of boys = 50 x (7/10) = 35 Number of girls = 50 - 35 = 15
