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?
Average money received by each = 118/50 = Rs. 2.36 Therefore, Ratio of No.of boys and girls = 56 : 24 = 7 : 3 Therefore, Number of boys = 50 x (7/10) = 35 Number of girls = 50 - 35 = 15
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 in a vessel A is 4 : 1 Ratio of Milk and water in a vessel B is 3 : 2 Ratio of only milk in vessel A = 4 : 5 Ratio of only milk in vessel B = 3 : 5 Let 'x' be the quantity of milk in vessel C Now as equal quantities are taken out from both vessels A & B => 4/5 : 3/5 x 3/5-x x - 4/5 => 3 5 - x x - 4 5 = 1 1 (equal quantities) => x = 7/10 Therefore, quantity of milk in vessel C = 7 => Water quantity = 10 - 7 = 3 Hence the ratio of milk & water in vessel 3 is 7 : 3
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.
