    Question

    Wheat worth Rs. 25/kg and Rs. 40/kg are mixed with a third

    variety in the ratio 1:2:1 respectively. If the final mixture is worth Rs. 35/kg, then the price of the third variety of wheat is:
    A Rs. 32/kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 36/kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 38/kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 35/kg Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the quantity of three varieties of wheat in the new mixture be β€˜x’ kg, β€˜2x’ kg, and β€˜x’ kg respectively
    Let the price of the third variety of wheat be Rs. β€˜y’/kg
    ATQ:
    (25 Γ— x) + (40 Γ— 2x) + (y Γ— x) = 35 Γ— (x + 2x + x)
    Or, 25x + 80x + xy = 35 Γ— 4x
    Or, 105x + xy = 140x
    Or, xy = 35x
    Or, y = 35
    So, the price of the third variety of wheat = Rs. 35/kg
