Alligation or Mixture problems
In a mixture of milk and water, there is only 26% water. After replacing the mixture with 7 liters of pure milk , the percentage of milk in the mixture become 76%. The quantity of mixture is:
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
According to question , Total C. P. of 200 kg of mixture = Rs. (80 × 6·75 + 120 × 8)Total C. P. of 200 kg of mixture = Rs. 1500Average rate = Rs. 7·50 per kgRequired rate = 120% of Rs. 7·50Required rate = Rs. 9 per kg.
Profit (%) = 9.09 % = 1/11 Since the ratio of water and milk is 1 : 11, Therefore the ratio of water is to mixture = 1:12 Thus the quantity of water in mixture of 1 liter = 1000 x (1/12) = 83.33 ml
Quantity of alohol in the mixture = 40 x 5/8 = 25 lit Quantity of water = 40 - 25 = 15 lit According to question, Required ratio = 20 - 40 x 20 100 x 5 8 15 - 40 x 20 100 x 3 8 + 40 x 20 100 = 20 15 - 3 + 8 = 1 : 1
