Let C.P. of 1 liter milk be Re. 1, Gain = 16 2/3 % = 50/3 %and S.P. of 1 liter mixture = Re. 1 then C.P. of 1 liter mixture = (1 x (100 x 3) / 350) = Re. (6 / 7) By the rule of alligation,Hence, required ratio = (1/ 7) : (6 / 7) = 1 : 6
By the rule of alligation, we have: Strength of first jar Strength of 2nd jar 40% MeanStrength 26% 19% 7 14 So, ratio of 1st and 2nd quantities = 7 : 14 = 1 : 2 ∴ Required quantity replaced = 2 3
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.
Let the milk he bought is 1000 ml Let C.P of 1000 ml is Rs. 100 Here let he is mixing K ml of water He is getting 30% profit => Now, the selling price is also Rs. 100 for 1000 ml => 100 : K% = 100 : 30 10 : 3 is ratio of milk to water => Percentage of milk = 10 x 100/13 = 1000/13 = 76.92%
