Given the ratio of mixed quantity is 3:2.
Therefore total parts is 5.
Let's assume the mixture of rice is 5 Kgs.(or any multiple of 5).
Given the worth of the mixture is 20/kg.
Therefore total price is 20*5=100/-
3 parts of 5kgs is 3kgs, which is at the rate 24 per kg.
Price for 3 parts is 24*3=72/-
The price of the 2 parts of the mixture is unknown. let that be x.
price for 2 parts is 2*x=2x
As per the given condition the total price of the mixture should be equal to the price of the 3 parts@24+ price of 2 parts@x.
=>100=72+2x
=>2x=28
=>x=14.
Therefore the price of 2parts of the mixture is 14/kg.
Therefore total parts is 5.
