Alligation or Mixture problems
Rs. 675 was divided among 75 boys and girls. Each boy gets Rs. 20 whereas a girl gets Rs. 5. Find the number of boys and girls.
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.
The given solution has 75% milk.
Milk to be added has 100% milk.
Milk should be added to the given mixture in the ratio 15 : 10 or 3 : 2
Quantity of milk to be added = (3 / 2) × 6 = 9 liters.
Let the price of the mixed variety be Rs. x per kg. By the rule of alligation, we have : Cost of 1 kg of type 1 rice Cost of 1 kg of type 2 rice ? (20-x)/(x-15) = 2/3 ? 60 - 3x = 2x - 30 ? x = 18.
Let the quantity of the wine in the cask originally be x litres Then, quantity of wine left in cask after 4 operations = x 1 - 8 x 4 litres ? x 1 - 8 x 4 x = 16 81 ? 1 - 8 x 4 = 2 3 4 ? x = 24
