Question:

In what ratio must a grocer mix two varieties of pulses worth ₹85 per kg and ₹100 per kg respectively so as to get a mixture worth ₹92 per jg ?

Options:

8 : 7

8 : 9

6 : 7

7 : 8

Correct Answer:

8 : 7

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (1) : 8 : 7

Given c= ₹85 per kg.

d= ₹100 per kg.

m = ₹12 per kg.

So, $\frac{\text{quantity of cheaper pulse}}{\text{quantity of dearer pulse}}$

$=\frac{100-92}{92-85}=\frac{8}{7}$

Hence the required ratio is $8 : 7$
