Alligation or Mixture problems
The ratio of milk and water in three samples is 1 : 3, 3 : 5 and 11 : 5. A mixture containing equal quantities of all three samples is made. What will be the ratio of milk and water in the new mixture?
Here, quantity of wine left after third operation = [1 - (5 / 25)]3 x 25 = (4 / 5)3 x 25 = (64 / 125) x 25 = (64 / 5) = 12 4/5 liters. Final ratio of wine to water = (64 / 125) / (1- 64 /125) = (64 / 125) /(61 / 125) Wine : Water = (64 / 61)
Suppose the two liquids A and B are 7x litres and 5x litres respectivel Now, when 9 litres of mixture are taken out, Now, when 9 liters of liquid B are added
The given solution has 75% milk.
Milk to be added has 100% milk.
Milk should be added to the given mixture in the ratio 15 : 10 or 3 : 2
Quantity of milk to be added = (3 / 2) × 6 = 9 liters.
Cost price of the mixture = 15 × (100 / 180) = Rs. 25/3 per kg
(Quantity of rice @ Rs. 8 per kg) / (Quantity of rice @ Rs.10 per kg) = (5 / 3) / (1/3) = 1/5
Quantity of rice @ Rs. 10 per kg = 25 × (1/ 5) = 5 kgs.
