Alligation or Mixture problems
If a dairy mixes cow's milk which contains 10% fat with buffalo's milk which contains 20% fat, then the resulting mixture has fat (120/7)% of fat. What ratio was the cow's milk mixed with buffalo's milk?
Using Alligation rule, (Quantity of cheaper tea) / (Quantity of dearer tea) = (d - m) / (m - c) = 7/3Therefore, they must be mixed in the ratio of 7 : 3.
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
