Alligation or Mixture problems
In what ratio should two varieties of sugar at Rs.18 per kg and Rs.24 Kg be mixed together to get a mixture whose cost is Rs.20 per kg?
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.
Copper in 4 kg = 4/5 kg and Zinc in 4 kg = 4 x (4/5) kg Copper in 5 kg = 5/6 kg and Zinc in 5 kg = 5 x (5/6) kg Therefore, Copper in mixture = 4 5 + 5 6 = 49 30 kg and Zinc in the mixture = 16 5 + 25 6 = 221 30 kg Therefore the required ratio = 49 : 221
Total quantity of iron = 4 (1 / 4) + 6 (2 / 3) = 1 + 4 = 5 kg. Total quantity of tin = (4 + 6) ? 5 = 5 kg. In the resultant mixture, iron : tin = 5 : 5 or 1 : 1
