Let C.P. of 1 litre milk be Re. 1. S.P. of 1 litre of mixture = Re.1, Gain = 50 %. 3 ∴ C.P. of 1 litre of mixture = ❨ 100 x 3 x 1 ❩ = 6 350 7 By the rule of alligation, we have: C.P. of 1 litre of water C.P. of 1 litre of milk 0 Mean PriceRe. 6 7 Re. 1 1 7 6 7 ∴ Ratio of water and milk = 1 : 6 = 1 : 6.
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.
Average speed = (100 / 10) = 10 km/hr. Ratio of time taken at 7 km/hr to 12 km/hr = 2 : 3 Time taken at 7 km/hr = 2 (2 + 3) × 10 = 4 hrs. Distance covered at 7 km/hr = 7 × 4 = 28 km. Distance covered at 12 km/hr = 100 ? 28 = 72 km.
