Alligation or Mixture problems
Some amount out of Rs. 7000 was lent at 6 % p.a. and the remaining at 4 % p. a. If the total simple interest from both the fractions in 5 years was Rs. 1600, the sum lent at 6 % p. a. was ?
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.
Let the milk he bought is 1000 ml Let C.P of 1000 ml is Rs. 100 Here let he is mixing K ml of water He is getting 30% profit => Now, the selling price is also Rs. 100 for 1000 ml => 100 : K% = 100 : 30 10 : 3 is ratio of milk to water => Percentage of milk = 10 x 100/13 = 1000/13 = 76.92%
As given equal amounts of alloys are melted, let it be 1 kg. Required ratio of gold and silver = 5 13 + 5 8 8 13 + 3 8 = 105 103 . Hence, ratio of gold and silver in the resulting alloy = 105/103.
Cost price of the mixture = 15 × (100 / 180) = Rs. 25/3 per kg
(Quantity of rice @ Rs. 8 per kg) / (Quantity of rice @ Rs.10 per kg) = (5 / 3) / (1/3) = 1/5
Quantity of rice @ Rs. 10 per kg = 25 × (1/ 5) = 5 kgs.
