Alligation or Mixture problems
In a mixture of milk and water the proportion of water by weight was 75%. If in 60 gm of mixture 15 gm water was added, what would be the percentage of water? (Weight in gm)
Water in 60 gm mixture=60 x 75/100 = 45 gm. and Milk = 15 gm. After adding 15 gm. of water in mixture, total water = 45 + 15 = 60 gm and weight of a mixture = 60 + 15 = 75 gm. So % of water = 100 x 60/75 = 80%.
W i n e ( l e f t ) W a t e r ( a d d e d ) = 343 169 It means W i n e ( l e f t ) W i n e ( i n i t i a l a m o u n t ) = 343 512 ? 343 + 169 = 512 Thus , 343 x = 512 x 1 - 15 K 3 ? 343 512 = 7 8 3 = 1 - 15 k 3 => K = 120 Thus the initial amount of wine was 120 liters.
Let the price of the mixed variety be Rs. x per kg. By rule of alligation, we have: Cost of 1 kg of Type 1 rice Cost of 1 kg of Type 2 rice Rs. 15 Mean Price Rs. x Rs. 20 (20 - x) (x - 15) ∴ (20 - x) = 2 (x - 15) 3 ⟹ 60 - 3x = 2x - 30 ⟹ 5x = 90 ⟹ x = 18.
Suppose the two liquids A and B are 7x litres and 5x litres respectivel Now, when 9 litres of mixture are taken out, Now, when 9 liters of liquid B are added
