Alligation or Mixture problems
A container contains 50 litres of milk. From that 8 litres of milk was taken out and replaced by water. This process was repeated further two times. How much milk is now contained by the container?
Let C.P. of 1 liter milk be Re. 1, Gain = 16 2/3 % = 50/3 %and S.P. of 1 liter mixture = Re. 1 then C.P. of 1 liter mixture = (1 x (100 x 3) / 350) = Re. (6 / 7) By the rule of alligation,Hence, required ratio = (1/ 7) : (6 / 7) = 1 : 6
