Question:

In what ratio must a shopkeeper mix two kinds of rice ₹80 per kg and ₹120 per kg respectively so as to get a mixture at ₹100 per kg?

Options:

2 : 3

3 : 4

2 : 1

1 : 1

Correct Answer:

1 : 1

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → 1 : 1

$\text{Prices: } 80,\; 120,\; \text{Mean} = 100$

$\text{Ratio} = (120 - 100) : (100 - 80)$

$= 20 : 20 = 1 : 1$

The required ratio is $1 : 1$.
