Alligation or Mixture problems
Two casks of 48 and 42 liters are filled with mixture of wine and water13 : 7 and 18 : 17. If the contents of the two casks be mixed and 20 liters of water added to the whole what will be the proportion of wine to water in the result?
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.
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
Quantity of milk @ Rs.10 per liter / Quantity of milk @ Rs. 16 per liter = 1 / 2 So, quantity of milk @ Rs. 10 per liter = 26 / 2 = 13 liter.2nd Method Let us assume shopkeeper buy P liter milk of price @ Rs. 10 per liter.Buy price of 26 liter of milk @ Rs. 16 per liter = 26 x 16Buy price of P liter of milk @ Rs. 10 per liter = P x 10Sell price of total milk ( P + 26 ) @ Rs. 14 per liter = 14 x ( P + 26 ) According to question there is no loss or no profit.Then Buy Price = Sell Price 26 x 16 + P x 10 = 14 x ( P + 26 ) ? 26 x 16 + 10P = 14P + 14 x 26 ? 26 x 16 - 26 x 14 = 14P - 10P? 2 x 26 = 4P? 4P = 2 x 26? P = 2 x 26 / 4 = 13So, quantity of milk @ Rs. 10 per liter = 13 liter.
