Alligation or Mixture problems
In a colored picture of blue and yellow color, blue and yellow color is used in the ratio of 4:3 respectively. If in upper half, blue : yellow is 2:3, then in the lower half blue : yellow is
Initial quantity of copper = 80 100 x 50 = 40 g And that of Bronze = 50 - 40 = 10 g Let 'p' gm of copper is added to the mixture => 50 + p x 90 100 = 40 + p => 45 + 0.9p = 40 + p => p = 50 g Hence, 50 gms of copper is added to the mixture, so that the copper is increased to 90%.
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.
Here first two varieties of tea are mixed in equal ratio.So their average price = (126 + 135) /2 = Rs. 130.50 Let price of the third variety per kg be Rs. A; then now mixture is formed by two varieties one at Rs. 130.50 per kg and other at Rs. A per kg in the same ratio 2 : 2 i.e, 1 : 1 By the rule of alligation,(A - 153) / (22.50) = 1 ? A ? 153 = 22.50 ? A = Rs. 175.50
Average speed = (100 / 10) = 10 km/hr. Ratio of time taken at 7 km/hr to 12 km/hr = 2 : 3 Time taken at 7 km/hr = 2 (2 + 3) × 10 = 4 hrs. Distance covered at 7 km/hr = 7 × 4 = 28 km. Distance covered at 12 km/hr = 100 ? 28 = 72 km.
