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 : 1
Quantity of milk = 60 X 2/3 = 40 litre
Quantity of water = 20 litre
To make ratio, 1: 2, we have to double the water that of milk
So, water should be 80 litre.
That means 80 ? 20 = 60 litre water to be added.
As given equal amounts of alloys are melted, let it be 1 kg. Required ratio of gold and silver = 5 13 + 5 8 8 13 + 3 8 = 105 103 . Hence, ratio of gold and silver in the resulting alloy = 105/103.
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.
