A dishonest milkman professes to sell milk at cost price but he mixes water into the milk and therefore he gains by 35%. Find ratio of mixture to water.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Gain is because of added water
CP = Milk Price
SP – CP = Water added (Profit)
35% = \(\frac{7}{20}\)
Milk : Water : Mixture
13 : 7 : 20
Mixture : Water = 20 : 7
