    Three varieties of pulses priced at Rs. 28/kg, Rs. 32/kg,

    and Rs. ‘x’/kg are mixed in the ratio 4:3:5. If the final mixture is worth Rs. 33 per kg, then determine the value of x.

    B 26.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 37.6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 27.5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the quantities be 4y, 3y, and 5y.

    So, 28 × 4y + 32 × 3y + x × 5y = 33 × 12y

    ⇒ 112 + 96 + 5x = 396

    ⇒ 5x = 188

    ⇒ x = 37.6
