Alligation or Mixture problems
In what ratio should two varieties of tea at Rs. 60 per kg and Rs.120 per kg be mixed together so that by selling the mixture at Rs.96 per kg, a profit of Rs.20% is obtained?
According to figure we can find that the ration would be 1 : 7.Quantity sold at 10% profit = 1 / (1 + 7)× 160 = 20 kgs. Quantity sold at 6% loss = (160 ? 20) = 140 kgs.
