Question

A grocer wants to mix nuts which sell for Rs. 14. 40 per kilo with nuts selling for Rs. 22. 80 in order to make a mixture which would sell for Rs. 18 per kilo. How many kilos of Rs. 14. 40 per kilo nuts should be mixed with 30 kilos of Rs. 22. 80 per kilo nuts?

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

1 : 2 : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question,

The cost of rice of variety 1 = 18 Rs/kg

Cost of rice of variety 2 = 25 Rs/kg

Cost of rice of variety 3 = 28 Rs/kg

Let us say that the quantity of variety 1, 2 and 3 are 'x', 'y' and 'z' respectively.

Resultant price of mixed Rice = 26 Rs/kg

So,

Therefore,

Therefore, the possible values of x, y and z can be so many.

Let us say,

x = 1

y = 2

So,

z = 5

As,

So,

The possible ratio can be given by,

So,

x : y : z = 1 : 2 : 5

Therefore, the possible ratio of variety 1, 2 and 3 can be 1 : 2 : 5
