Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 1 - Question 2

A mixture of wheat is sold at Rs.3 per Kg. This mixture is formed by mixing the Wheat of Rs.2.10 per kg and Rs.2.52 per kg. What is the ratio of price of cheaper to the costlier quality in the mixture if the profit of 25% is being earned

Detailed Solution for Mixtures And Alligations - MCQ 1 - Question 2

Solution:

  1. Calculate the cost price of the mixture:

    • Since there's a 25% profit on the selling price of Rs. 3/kg, the cost price = 3 / (1 + 25/100) = Rs. 2.4/kg.
  2. Apply the alligation rule:

    • The alligation rule states that the ratio of quantities of two ingredients in a mixture is inversely proportional to the difference of their prices from the mean price.

    • Mean price (cost price of the mixture) = Rs. 2.4/kg

    • Price of cheaper wheat = Rs. 2.10/kg

    • Price of costlier wheat = Rs. 2.52/kg

    • Difference between cheaper wheat and mean price = 2.40 - 2.10 = Rs. 0.30/kg

    • Difference between costlier wheat and mean price = 2.52 - 2.40 = Rs. 0.12/kg

    • Ratio of cheaper to costlier wheat = 0.12 : 0.30 = 2 : 5

Therefore, the ratio of the price of cheaper to the costlier quality in the mixture is 2:5.

So, the correct answer is option A: 2:5.
