Alligation or Mixture problems
A mixture contains spirit and water in the ratio of 3 : 2. If it contains 3 litres more spirit than water, the quantity of spirit in the mixture is
Ratio of milk and water = 2 : 1Quantity of milk = 60 X 2/3 = 40 litreQuantity of water = 20 litreTo make ratio, 1: 2, we have to double the water that of milkSo, water should be 80 litre.That means 80 ? 20 = 60 litre water to be added.
As per figure we can calculate the ration as below.Number of supervisors / Number of labourers = (10 / 100) = 1/10 Total number of labourers = Total no. of supervisors × 10 = 15 × 10 = 150.
