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?
Given mixture = 48 lit Milk in it = 48 x 5/8 = 30 lit => Water in it = 48 - 30 = 18 lit Let 'L' lit of water is added to make the ratio as 3:5 => 30/(18+L) = 3/5 => 150 = 54 + 3L => L = 32 lit.
