Alligation or Mixture problems
In a container, there is 960 ltr of pure milk from which 48 ltr of milk is replaced with 48 ltr of water, again 48 ltr milk is replaced by same amount of water, as this process is done once more. Now, what is the amount of pure milk?
% of milk in first bottle = 64% % of milk in second bottle = 100 - 26 = 74% Now, ATQ 64% 74% 68% 6 4 Hence, by using allegation method, Required ratio = 3 : 2
Milk Water 74% 26% (initially) 76% 24% ( after replacement) Left amount = Initial amount 1 - r e p l a c e d a m o u n t t o t a l a m o u n t 24 = 26 1 - 7 k => k = 91
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.
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.
