Alligation or Mixture problems
In what ratio must a mixture of 20% milk strength be mixed with that of 60% milk strength so as to get a new mixture of 25% milk strength?
Ratio of milk and water = 2 : 1Quantity of milk = 60 X 2/3 = 40 litreQuantity of water = 20 litreTo make ratio, 1: 2, we have to double the water that of milkSo, water should be 80 litre.That means 80 ? 20 = 60 litre water to be added.
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
As per the given question , We are concerned with solid part of the fruit (pure portion). Assume Q kg of dry fruit is obtained.? Solid part in fresh fruit = Solid part in dry fruit? 0·28 × 100 = 0·8 × Q? Q = 35 kg? 35 kg of dry fruit can be obtained from 100 kg fresh fruit.
If the two alloys are mixed, the mixture would contain 15 gms of each metal and it would cost Rs. (150 + 120) = Rs. 270.
Cost of (15 gms of metal A + 15 gms of metal B) = Rs. 270
Cost of (1 gm of metal A + 1 gm of metal B) = Rs. (270 / 15) = Rs. 18
Cost of 1 gm of metal B = Rs. (18 ? 6) = Rs. 12
Average cost of original piece of alloy = (150 / 15) = Rs. 10 per gm.
Quantity of metal / A Quantity of metal B = (2 / 4) = (1 / 2)
Quantity of metal B = 2 (1 + 2) × 15 = 10 gms.
Quantity of milk @ Rs.10 per liter / Quantity of milk @ Rs. 16 per liter = 1 / 2 So, quantity of milk @ Rs. 10 per liter = 26 / 2 = 13 liter.2nd Method Let us assume shopkeeper buy P liter milk of price @ Rs. 10 per liter.Buy price of 26 liter of milk @ Rs. 16 per liter = 26 x 16Buy price of P liter of milk @ Rs. 10 per liter = P x 10Sell price of total milk ( P + 26 ) @ Rs. 14 per liter = 14 x ( P + 26 ) According to question there is no loss or no profit.Then Buy Price = Sell Price 26 x 16 + P x 10 = 14 x ( P + 26 ) ? 26 x 16 + 10P = 14P + 14 x 26 ? 26 x 16 - 26 x 14 = 14P - 10P? 2 x 26 = 4P? 4P = 2 x 26? P = 2 x 26 / 4 = 13So, quantity of milk @ Rs. 10 per liter = 13 liter.
