Question

eesha bought two varities of rice costing 50rs per kg and 60 rs per kg and mixed them in some ratio.then she sold that mixture at 70 rs per kg making a profit of 20 % what was the ratio of the micxture?

Answer 1

let x be the price of the rice after mixing,then
120*x/100=70
x=175/3 by eligation method
the required ratio is(60-175/3):(175/3-50)=1:5

Answer 2

Thank you for asking this question. Here is your answer:

SP = 70 Rs/Kg

P% = 20

So Cp of one kg mixture is 175/3  (we achieved this by by eligation method)

Cp1 = 50 Rs/Kg

Cp2 = 60 Rs/Kg

Cp of Mix = 175/3 Rs/Kg

(60-175/3) = 5/3 (175/3 - 50)

= 25/3

So the ratio is 1:5
