Two types of wheat costing 20 Rs/kg and 8 Rs/kg respectively should be mixed in what ratio, so that the resultant mixture will cost 12 Rs/kg, after selling it at a loss of 25%. |
1 : 2 2 : 1 4 : 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) 3 : 1 |
2 : 1 |
25% = \(\frac{1}{4}\), loss (25%) = \(\frac{3}{4}\) (where 3 →S.P and 4 → C.P.) 3R → 12 (given) 1R = 4 4R → 16 (C.P. of Mixture) Therefore, using alligation method on C.P. Type 1 Type 2 Required ration will be = 2 : 1 |
