Question
The cost price per kg of sugar types 'X' and 'Y' is Rs.
80 and Rs. 150 respectively. These are blended to form a mixture which is sold at Rs. 184 per kg gaining a profit of 60%. Find the ratio in which sugar of type 'Y' is mixed with sugar of type 'X'.Solution
ATQ,
Cost price of mixture = (184 / 1.6) = Rs. 115 Let 'm' kg and 'n' kg of sugar of type 'X' and 'Y' respectively be mixed. So, (80m + 150n) ÷ (m + n) = 115 Or, 80m + 150n = 115m + 115n Or, 35m = 35n Or, n : m = 35 : 35 = 1 : 1
