Question

2. In what ratio should rice at Rs. 'kl' per '2H1,5Dl' . be mixed with rice Rs. '18*10' per 'kg' . so that the price of each 'kg' . of the mixed rice may be Rs. '18.50'

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, ratio = x ∶ y

According to problem,

⇒ 12.60x + 17.10y = 14.40(x + y)

⇒ 12.60x + 17.10y = 14.40x + 14.40y

⇒ 1.8x = 2.7y

⇒ x/y = 27/18

⇒ x ∶ y = 3 ∶ 2
