Alligation or Mixture problems
In a mixture of 35 litres, the ratio of milk and water is 4:1. If 7 litres of water is added to the mixture, the ratio of milk and water of the new mixture will be
Ratio of milk andwater = 4:1 Quantity of water = 35/5 = 7 litres Quantity of milk = 35 X 4/5 = 28 litres If 7 litre of water is added, new quantity of water = 14 litre New ratio of milk and water = 28:14 = 2:1
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
As per figure we can calculate the ration as below.Number of supervisors / Number of labourers = (10 / 100) = 1/10 Total number of labourers = Total no. of supervisors × 10 = 15 × 10 = 150.
