Question:

In context of Alligation and mixture the ratio of quantity of cheaper ingredient to the quantity of dearer ingredient =

Options:

$\frac{\text { Mean price }- \text { C.P. of dearer }}{\text { Mean price }- \text { C.P. of cheaper }}$

$\frac{\text { Mean price }- \text { C.P. of cheaper }}{\text { C.P. of dearer }- \text { Mean price }}$

$\frac{\text { C.P. of dearer }- \text { Mean price }}{\text { Mean price }- \text { C.P. of cheaper }}$

$\frac{\text { C.P. of cheaper }}{\text { C.P. of dearer }}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{\text { C.P. of dearer }- \text { Mean price }}{\text { Mean price }- \text { C.P. of cheaper }}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{\text { C.P. of dearer }- \text { Mean price }}{\text { Mean price }- \text { C.P. of cheaper }}$

$\text{Ratio (cheaper : dearer)} = \frac{\text{C.P. of dearer} - \text{Mean price}}{\text{Mean price} - \text{C.P. of cheaper}}$

$\text{Correct option: } \frac{\text{C.P. of dearer} - \text{Mean price}}{\text{Mean price} - \text{C.P. of cheaper}}$
