A dishonest milkman professes to sell milk at cost price but he mixes water into the milk and therefore he gains by 25%. Find ratio of mixture to milk.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Gain is because of added water
CP = Milk Price
SP – CP = Water added (Profit)
25% = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Milk : Water : Mixture
3 : 1 : 4
Mixture : Milk = 4 : 3
