The ratio in which a grocer must mix two varieties of tea worth ₹60 per kg and ₹65 per kg by selling the mixture at ₹68.20 per kg he may gain 10% is: |
2 : 3 3 : 4 3 : 2 4 : 3 |
3 : 2 |
The correct answer is Option (3) → 3 : 2 Since there is a 10% profit, the cost price: Cost Price (CP) = $\frac{68.2}{1.1}=62/kg$ Applying rule of allegation, $\text{Ratio}=\frac{\text{Higher price-Mean price}}{\text{Mean price-Lower price}}$ $=\frac{65-62}{62-60}=\frac{3}{2}$ |
