Given :

Cost of each kind = Rs. 2, Rs. 3.5 , Rs. 4.8 per kg

Cost of mixture = Rs. 2.6 per kg.

To find : Ratio of three wheat = ?

Solution :

Using "Mixture and Allegation ", we get :

First type : Second type

2                     3.5

          2.6

-----------------------------------

3.5-2.6  :    2.6 - 2

0.9     :     0.6

9        :       6

3        :       2

Now,

Second type    :     Third type

3.5                              4.8

                 2.6

------------------------------------------

 4.8  -   2.6   :     3.5 - 2.6

2.2              :         0.9

22                :           9

So, combining both the ratios, we get

First type    :     Second type       :      third type

 3               :              2

                                22                 :              9

----------------------------------------------------------------------

66              :             44                   :           18

33              :              22                  :            9

Hence, the ratio would be 33:22:9.
