20 kg of rice costing Rs. 30 per kg is mixed with 130 kg of rice costi...
Calculation:
- Let's calculate the total cost of the mixture.
- Cost of 20 kg rice = 20 kg * Rs. 30/kg = Rs. 600
- Cost of 130 kg rice = 130 kg * Rs. 75/kg = Rs. 975
- Total cost of the mixture = Rs. 600 + Rs. 975 = Rs. 1575
Total Weight of Mixture:
- Total weight of the mixture = 20 kg + 130 kg = 150 kg
Average Price per kg:
- Average price per kg = Total cost of mixture / Total weight of mixture
- Average price per kg = Rs. 1575 / 150 kg = Rs. 10.50/kg
Conversion to Total Price per kg:
- To convert the average price per kg of the mixture, we need to multiply it by 10 to match the options provided in the question.
- Total price per kg = Rs. 10.50/kg * 10 = Rs. 105/kg
Therefore, the average per kg price of the mixture is Rs. 105, which is closest to option 'A' Rs. 69.
