    Cost price of wheat (per kg) of type 'A' and 'B' is Rs. 84

    and Rs. 132 respectively. Both types are mixed and sold at Rs. 156 per kg at a profit of 30%. Find the ratio in which wheat of type 'B' is mixed with wheat of type 'A'.
    A 1:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1:3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 5:2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Cost price of mixture = (156 / 1.3) = Rs. 120
    Let 'm' kg and 'n' kg of wheat of type 'A' and 'B' respectively be mixed.
    So, (84m + 132n) ÷ (m + n) = 120
    Or, 84m + 132n = 120m + 120n
    Or, 12n = 36m
    Or, m:n = 3:1
