Alligation or Mixture problems
Two bottles contains mixture of milk and water. First bottle contains 64% milk and second bottle contains 26% water. In what ratio these two mixtures are mixed so that new mixture contains 68% milk?
% of milk in first bottle = 64% % of milk in second bottle = 100 - 26 = 74% Now, ATQ 64% 74% 68% 6 4 Hence, by using allegation method, Required ratio = 3 : 2
By the rule of alligation: Cost of 1 kg pulses of 1st kind Cost of 1 kg pulses of 2nd kind Rs. 15 Mean Price Rs. 16.50 Rs. 20 3.50 1.50 ∴ Required rate = 3.50 : 1.50 = 7 : 3.
Let the initial amount of honey in the jar was K, then 512 = K 1 - 1 5 4 ? 20 % = 20 100 = 1 5 or 512 = K 4 5 4 Therefore, K = 1250 Hence initially the honey in the jar= 1.25 kg
Customer ratio of Milk and Water is given by Milk :: Water 6.4 0 8 1 + 3 8 = 64 11 64 11 64 10 - 64 11 => Milk : Water = 110 : 11 = 10 : 1 Therefore, the proportionate of Water to Milk for Customer is 1 : 10
