Question

There are two mixtures A and B that contain milk and water in the ratio 2:1 and 5:1 respectively. These two mixtures
are mixed in the ratio p : 1 and sold at the price of pure milk. If the profit percent after selling the new mixture is
33(1/3)%, then what is the value of 'p'?

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

mixtures A (2:1 ) contains 2 parts of milk and 1 part of water ( 66.7% milk)

mixtures  B (5:1 ) contains  5 parts of milk and 1 part of water ( 83.3% milk)

for new mixture C ( p : 1) → p parts of A and 1 part of B

if the volume of A is V and that of B Is V added = 2V of C

this contains 2V/3 + 5V/6 = 9v/6 milk and 3V/6 of water (3 : 1)

P = 3
