₹38 प्रति किलोग्राम मूल्य वाली चीनी को ₹55 प्रति किलोग्राम मूल्य वाली चीनी के साथ किस अनुपात में मिलाया जाए ताकि मिश्रण को ₹57.20 प्रति किलोग्राम पर बेचने पर 10% लाभ हो?
Detailed Solution & Logic
3 : 14
Selling price of mixture = ₹57.20 per kg
Profit = 10%
So, Cost Price of mixture:
$CP = \frac{57.20 \times 100}{110}$
$= ₹52$ per kg
Now apply alligation method:
Cheaper sugar = ₹38/kg
Dearer sugar = ₹55/kg
Mean price = ₹52/kg
Ratio of mixing:
$= (55 - 52) : (52 - 38)$
$= 3 : 14$
Required ratio = 3 : 14
Correct option: 3 : 14
