By the rule of alligation: Cost of 1 kg pulses of 1st kind Cost of 1 kg pulses of 2nd kind Rs. 15 Mean Price Rs. 16.50 Rs. 20 3.50 1.50 ∴ Required rate = 3.50 : 1.50 = 7 : 3.
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.
