Alligation or Mixture

Q1: Tea worth Rs. 126 per kg and Rs. 135 per kg are mixed with a third variety in the ratio 1 : 1 : 2. If the mixture is worth Rs. 153 per kg, the price of the third variety per kg will be:

A Rs. 169.50

B Rs. 170

C Rs 175.50

D Rs. 180

ANS:C - Rs 175.50

Since first and second varieties are mixed in equal proportions.

So, their average price = Rs. 126 + 135 = Rs. 130.50
2
So, the mixture is formed by mixing two varieties, one at Rs. 130.50 per kg and the other at say, Rs. x per kg in the ratio 2 : 2, i.e., 1 : 1. We have to find x. By the rule of alligation, we have:
Cost of 1 kg of 1st kind Cost of 1 kg tea of 2nd kind
Rs. 130.50 Mean Price
Rs. 153 		Rs. x
(x - 153) 22.50
x - 153 = 1
22.50
x - 153 = 22.50 x = 175.50
