Alligation or Mixture problems
In a courtyard there are many chickens and goats. If heads are counted, it comes to 100 but when legs are counted, it comes to 320. Find the number of chickens and goats in the courtyard.
As given equal amounts of alloys are melted, let it be 1 kg. Required ratio of gold and silver = 5 13 + 5 8 8 13 + 3 8 = 105 103 . Hence, ratio of gold and silver in the resulting alloy = 105/103.
General Formula: Final or reduced concentration = initial concentration x 1 - a m o u n t b e i n g r e p l a c e d i n e a c h o p e r a t i o n t o t a l a m o u n t n where n is the number of times the same operation is being repeated. The "amount being replaced" could be pure or mixture as per the case. similarly ,"total amount" could also be either pure or mixture. Here amount being replaced denotes the quantity which is to be withdrawn in each time. Therefore, 50 × 1 - 5 50 3 = 36.45 L
Let C.P. of 1 liter milk be Re. 1, Gain = 16 2/3 % = 50/3 %and S.P. of 1 liter mixture = Re. 1 then C.P. of 1 liter mixture = (1 x (100 x 3) / 350) = Re. (6 / 7) By the rule of alligation,Hence, required ratio = (1/ 7) : (6 / 7) = 1 : 6
