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.
According to figure we find that the ratio will be 3 : 1.Quantity sold at 20% profit = 3 / (3 + 1) × 50 = 37.5 kgs. Quantity sold at 40% profit = (50 ? 37.5) = 12.5 kgs.
Average speed = (100 / 10) = 10 km/hr. Ratio of time taken at 7 km/hr to 12 km/hr = 2 : 3 Time taken at 7 km/hr = 2 (2 + 3) × 10 = 4 hrs. Distance covered at 7 km/hr = 7 × 4 = 28 km. Distance covered at 12 km/hr = 100 ? 28 = 72 km.
