Alligation or Mixture problems
In a mixture of 240 lt. water is 20% and rest is Milk. What quantity of mixture should be taken out and replaced with water so that water becomes 40%?
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.

Rate of rice of quantity 280 kg = Rs. 15.60/kg Rate of rice of quantity 120 kg = Rs. 14.40/kg He want to earn a profit of Rs. 10.45/kg Rate of Mix to sell to get profit of 10.45 = 280 x 15 . 60 + 120 x 14 . 40 280 + 120 + 10 . 45 4368 + 1728 400 + 10 . 45 = > 15 . 24 + 10 . 45 = 25 . 69
Total quantity of iron = 4 (1 / 4) + 6 (2 / 3) = 1 + 4 = 5 kg. Total quantity of tin = (4 + 6) ? 5 = 5 kg. In the resultant mixture, iron : tin = 5 : 5 or 1 : 1
