Question:

In what ratio must two kinds of sugar at Rs. 1.15 and Rs. 1.24 per kg be mixed so that by selling at Rs. 1.50 per kg, 25% may be gained?

Options:

4 : 5

14 : 5

3 : 5

4 : 7

Correct Answer:

4 : 5

Explanation:

Cost of 1st = 1.15 Rs.

Cost of 2nd = 1.15 Rs.

SP = 1.50 Rs.

Profit = 25%.

CP = 1.50 x ($\frac{100}{125}$) = 1.20 Rs.

Therefore required ratio = 4 : 5
