Alligation or Mixture problems
In what ratio sugar of Rs 38 per kg and Rs 30 per kg be mixed with each other so that on selling mixture at Rs 35.2 per kg there will be a profit of 10%?
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.
Quantity of milk @ Rs.10 per liter / Quantity of milk @ Rs. 16 per liter = 1 / 2 So, quantity of milk @ Rs. 10 per liter = 26 / 2 = 13 liter.2nd Method Let us assume shopkeeper buy P liter milk of price @ Rs. 10 per liter.Buy price of 26 liter of milk @ Rs. 16 per liter = 26 x 16Buy price of P liter of milk @ Rs. 10 per liter = P x 10Sell price of total milk ( P + 26 ) @ Rs. 14 per liter = 14 x ( P + 26 ) According to question there is no loss or no profit.Then Buy Price = Sell Price 26 x 16 + P x 10 = 14 x ( P + 26 ) ? 26 x 16 + 10P = 14P + 14 x 26 ? 26 x 16 - 26 x 14 = 14P - 10P? 2 x 26 = 4P? 4P = 2 x 26? P = 2 x 26 / 4 = 13So, quantity of milk @ Rs. 10 per liter = 13 liter.
