Question

Pure ghee costs rs. 100 per kg. After adulterating it with vegetable oil costing rs. 50 per kg, a shopkeeper sells the mixture at the rate of rs. 96 per kg, thereby making a profit of 20%. In what ratio does he mix the two?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

s.p=96/kg

profit=20%

c.p = (100/100+20)*96

     = 80/kg

it can be solved easily through options , for eg in options ratio is 3:2

then,  we should take 3 parts of 100 and 2 parts of 50

i.e., 3/5*100 =60

 (2/5)*50 =20

now 60+20 =80

so answer is 3:2
