- Question
Tea worth Rs. 126 per kg and Rs. 135 per kg are mixed with a third variety in the ratio 1 : 1 : 2. If the mixture is worth Rs. 153 per kg, the price of the third variety per kg will be:
Options- A. Rs. 169.50
- B. Rs. 170
- C. Rs. 175.50
- D. Rs. 180
- Correct Answer
- Rs. 175.50
ExplanationSince first and second varieties are mixed in equal proportions.So, their average price = Rs. ❨ 126 + 135 ❩ = Rs. 130.50 2 So, the mixture is formed by mixing two varieties, one at Rs. 130.50 per kg and the other at say, Rs. x per kg in the ratio 2 : 2, i.e., 1 : 1. We have to find x.
By the rule of alligation, we have:
Cost of 1 kg of 1st kind Cost of 1 kg tea of 2nd kind Rs. 130.50 Mean Price
Rs. 153Rs. x (x - 153) 22.50 ∴ x - 153 = 1 22.50 ⟹ x - 153 = 22.50
⟹ x = 175.50
