In what proportion must wheat at Rs. 1·60 per kg be mixed with wheat at Rs. 1·45 per kg. So that the mixture be worth Rs. 1·54 per kg?

Correct Answer: 3 : 2

Explanation:

Using the Alligation method ,
Here , C1 = 160 paise , C2 = 145 paise and Mean cost Price ( M ) = 154 paise
Required ratio = ( M - C2 ) : ( C1 - M )
∴ (Dearer wheat) : (Cheaper wheat) = 9 : 6
Hence , (Dearer wheat) : (Cheaper wheat) = 3 : 2
