Question

Chandan buys some sugar at Rs. 15 per kg. He mixes it with sugar
having price Rs. 18 per kg. The final mixture becomes worth Rs. 16 per
kg. What is the ratio of quantities of type 1 sugar to type 2 sugar?​

Answer 1

Answer:ratio is 2:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Given,

Cost of sugar 1 per kg = Rs 15

Cost of sugar 2 per kg = Rs 18

Cost of final mixture per kg = Rs 16

To Find,

The ratio of quantities of type 1 sugar to type 2 sugar =?

Solution,

Cost of sugar of type 1  = C1 = Rs 15

Cost of sugar of type 2  = C2 =Rs 18

Mean of both quantities = Rs 16

The ratio of quantities of both sugars = (C2 - Mean) / (Mean - C1)

The ratio of quantities of type 1 sugar to type 2 sugar = (18 - 16) / (16 - 15)

The ratio of quantities of type 1 sugar to type 2 sugar = 2 / 1

Hence, the ratio of quantities of type 1 sugar to type 2 sugar  is 2:1
