Question

two varieties of rice at Rs 10 per kg and 12 KG are mixed together in the ratio 1 : 2 find the average price of the resulting mixture

Answer 1

hey
let the ratio be of 1kg and 2kg
total is 3kg
the price of 1kg of rice in it is 10
and the 2kg of rice is 12*2=24
average=10+24/3
=34/3=11.34

Answer 2

Answer:

Average price of rice when both variety are mixed is Rs. 11.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of rice of variety 1 = Rs. 10 per kg

Cost of rice of variety 2 = Rs. 12 per kg

Ratio of the rice = 1 : 2

To find: Average price of rice when both variety are mixed.

let weight of variety 1 rice = x   and weight of variety 2 rice = 2x

total cost of variety 1 rice = Rs. 10x and Cost of variety 2 rice = Rs. 24x

Total weight of rice = 2x + x = 3x kg

Total Price of both rice = 10x + 24x = Rs. 34x

Average cost of a kg of mixture = 34x/3x = Rs. 11.33

Therefore, Average price of rice when both variety are mixed is Rs. 11.33
