Alligation or Mixture problems
Manideep purchases 30kg of barley at the rate of 11.50/kg and 20kg at the rate of 14.25/kg. He mixed the two and sold the mixture in the shop. At what price per kg should he sell the mixture to make 30% profit to him?
Given, Manideep purchases 30kg of barley at the rate of 11.50/kg nad 20kg at the rate of 14.25/kg. Total cost of the mixture of barley = (30 x 11.50) + (20 x 14.25) => Total cost of the mixture = Rs. 630 Total kgs of the mixture = 30 + 20 = 50kg Cost of mixture/kg = 630/50 = 12.6/kg To make 30% of profit => Selling price for manideep = 12.6 + 30% x 12.6 => Selling price for manideep = 12.6 + 3.78 = 16.38/kg.
% of milk in first bottle = 64% % of milk in second bottle = 100 - 26 = 74% Now, ATQ 64% 74% 68% 6 4 Hence, by using allegation method, Required ratio = 3 : 2
Number of liters of water in 150 liters of the mixture = 20% of 150 = 20/100 x 150 = 30 liters.P liters of water added to the mixture to make water 25% of the new mixture.Total amount of water becomes (30 + P) and total volume of mixture is (150 + P).(30 + P) = 25/100 x (150 + P)120 + 4P = 150 + P => P = 10 liters.
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.
