By the rule of allilation, we have:
C.P. of 1 kg sugar of 1st kind Cost of 1 kg sugar of 2nd kind | ||
Rs. 9 | Mean Price Rs. 8.40 |
Rs. 7 |
1.40 | 0.60 |
∴ Ratio of quantities of 1st and 2nd kind = 14 : 6 = 7 : 3.
Let x kg of sugar of 1st be mixed with 27 kg of 2nd kind.
Then, 7 : 3 = x : 27
⟹ x = | ❨ | 7 x 27 | ❩ | = 63 kg. |
