एक पंसारी ₹120/kg मूल्य की दो किस्मों की चाय को एक अनुपात में मिलाकर ₹122/kg मूल्य वाली एक नई किस्म तैयार करता है। नई किस्म प्राप्त करने के लिए मिश्रित की जाने वाली किस्मों का अनुपात कितना है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Correct Answer:
3 : 2
Let cheaper = 120, dearer = 125, mean price = 122
Using alligation:
$125 - 122 = 3$
$122 - 120 = 2$
So the ratio:
Cheaper : Dearer = 3 : 2
Answer = 3:2
