☆ Answer
Alligation
Alligation is the rule which enables us to find the ratio in which two or more ingredients at the given price must be mixed to produce a mixture of a specified price.
2. Mean Price
Mean price is the cost price of a unit quantity of the mixture
3. Suppose a container contains xx units of a liquid from which yy units are taken out and replaced by water. After nn operations, quantity of pure liquid
=x(1−yx)n=x(1−yx)n units.
4. Rule of Alligation
If two ingredients are mixed, then
(Quantity of cheaperQuantity of dearer)(Quantity of cheaperQuantity of dearer) =(CP of dearer - Mean PriceMean price - CP of cheaper)=(CP of dearer - Mean PriceMean price - CP of cheaper)
The above formula can be represented with the help of the following diagram which is easier to understand.

=> (Cheaper quantity) : (Dearer quantity) = (d - m) : (m - c)
