Alligation or Mixture problems
Two bottles contains mixture of milk and water. First bottle contains 64% milk and second bottle contains 26% water. In what ratio these two mixtures are mixed so that new mixture contains 68% milk?
% 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
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.
