Let us assume that the 2 mixtures are mixed in the ratio a:b to obtain a mixture which has A and B in the ratio 26:19. Let us assume that the 2 mixtures are mixed in the ratio a:b.<\/p>\n (4a\/9 + 7b\/9)\/(a+b) = 26\/45<\/p>\n (4a+7b)\/(9(a+b)) = 26\/45
\nOption (A): Average cost price of the mixture = $\\dfrac{200+560+1260}{2+4+7}$ = Rs. 155.38
\nOption (B): Average cost price of the mixture = $\\dfrac{100+700+1800}{1+5+10}$ = Rs. 162.50
\nOption (C): Average cost price of the mixture = $\\dfrac{100+280+540}{1+2+3}$ = Rs. 153.33
\nOption (D): Average cost price of the mixture = $\\dfrac{200+700+900}{2+5+5}$ = Rs. 150
\nTherefore, option D is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nLet us assume that milkman mixed $\\text{2L}$ and $\\text{3L}$ volume of water and pure milk.
\nHence, total cost incurred by the milkman = $2\\text{L}*\\dfrac{\\text{P}}{6} + 3\\text{L*P}$ = $\\dfrac{10\\text{LP}}{3}$
\nProfit made by the milkman in the transaction = $5\\text{L*P} – \\dfrac{10\\text{LP}}{3}$ = $\\dfrac{5\\text{LP}}{3}$
\nTherefore, the profit percentage made by the milkman = $\\dfrac{\\dfrac{5\\text{LP}}{3}}{\\dfrac{10\\text{LP}}{3}}\\times 100$ = 50 percent.
\nTherefore, option C is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nTherefore, total volume of the solution = (9 + 18) litres = 27 litres
\nQuantity of alcohol in the first solution = $\\frac{7}{9} * 9$ litres = 7 litres
\nQuantity of alcohol in the second solution = $\\frac{5}{6} * 18$ litres = 15 litres
\nTotal quantity of alcohol = (7 + 15) litres = 22 litres
\n% of milk = $\\frac{22}{27} * 100$% = 81.48%
\nHence, option E is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nlet there be 3m kg of rice A and 4m kg of rice B in mixture Y
\nTotal quantity of X = (4k + 5k) kg = 9k kg
\nTotal quantity of Y = (3m + 4m) kg = 7m kg
\nWhen X and Y are mixed in equal quantities to form Z,
\nQuantity of rice A in Z = (4k + 3m) kg
\nQuantity of rice B in Z = (5k + 4m) kg
\nIt is given that, 4k + 3m + 3 = 5k + 4m
\nor, k + m = 3……………(i)
\nAlso, Quantity of X = Quantity of Y
\n=> 9k = 7m…………….(ii)
\nOn solving (i) and (ii), we get
\nk = $\\dfrac{21}{16}$ and m = $\\dfrac{27}{16}$
\nQuantity of X and Y mixed = 9k or 7m = 11.8125 kg
\nHence, option A is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nTherefore, total volume of the solution = (12 + 24) litres = 36 litres
\nQuantity of milk in the first solution = $\\frac{3}{4} * 12$ litres = 9 litres
\nQuantity of milk in the second solution = $\\frac{2}{3} * 24$ litres = 16 litres
\nTotal quantity of milk = (9 + 16) litres = 25 litres
\n% of milk = $\\frac{25}{36} * 100$% = 69.44%<\/p>\n
\nAfter adding 20 litres of milk, the ratio of milk and water changed to 25 : 3
\n(Removing 10.7 litres of the mixture is irrelevant as it will not change the ratio of milk and water in the mixture)
\nSo, $\\frac{5k + 20}{k} = \\frac{25}{3}$
\nOn solving, we get $k$ = 6
\nTotal volume of the initial mixture = $5k + k$ = 36 litres
\nHence, option B is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nHe adds 20L of pure milk and thus. he now has 0.8x+20 L of milk with him.
\nOut of this he sells 40% of the milk.
\nHe is now left with (0.8x+20)*0.6 = 0.48x+12 L of milk.
\nHe adds 48L of pure milk and he now has 0.48x+12+48 = 0.48x+60 L of milk.
\nGiven, 0.48x+60 = 300
\nThus, x = 240\/0.48 = 500L
\nHence, option C is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nHence, option E is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nHence, option E is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nTotal rice = (2 + 1 + 2) kg = 5 kg
\nCost of A in the mixture = Rs. (2 * 20) = Rs. 40
\nCost of B in the mixture = Rs. (1 * 25) = Rs. 25
\nCost of C in the mixture = Rs. (2 * 30) = Rs. 60
\nTotal cost of the mixture = Rs. (40 + 25 + 60) = Rs. 125
\nCost per kg = Rs. $\\frac{125}{5}$ = Rs. 25
\nHence, option B is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nIt is given that, $\\frac{3x + 4}{5x + 5} = \\frac{2}{3}$
\nOn solving, we get $x$ = 2
\nTherefore, the quantity of water in the final mixture = (3 * 2 + 4) litres = 10 litres.
\nHence, option D is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nIt is given that, $\\frac{5x + 5}{2x + 4} = \\frac{2}{1}$
\nOn solving, we get $x$ = 3
\nTherefore, the quantity of alcohol in the final mixture = (3 * 2 + 4) litres = 10 litres.
\nHence, option A is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nIn 9 litres of A, milk is 7 litres, and water is 2 litres.
\nIn 27 litres of B, milk is 18 litres, and water is 9 litres.
\nWhen A and B are mixed, quantity of milk = (7 + 18) litres = 25 litres
\nWhen A and B are mixed, quantity of water = (2 + 9) litres = 11 litres
\nRequired ratio is 25 : 11
\nHence, option C is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nIn 30 litres of P, milk is 25 litres and water is 5 litres.
\nIn 30 litres of Q, milk is 18 litres and water is 12 litres.
\nWhen P and Q are mixed, quantity of milk = (25 + 18) litres = 43 litres
\nWhen P and Q are mixed, quantity of water = (5 + 12) litres = 17 litres
\nRequired ratio is 43 : 17
\nHence, option C is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nIt is given that, $\\frac{2x + 2}{5x} = \\frac{1}{2}$
\nOn solving, we get $x$ = 4
\nTherefore, the quantity of milk = 5 * 4 = 20 litres
\nand the quantity of water = 2 * 4 = 8 litres
\nQuantity of water required to be added = Difference between the quantities of milk and water = (20 – 8) litres = 12 litres
\nBut, 2 litres of water is already added.
\nSo, 10 litres more water needs to be added.
\nHence, option A is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nIt is given that, $\\frac{2x + 2}{5x} = \\frac{1}{2}$
\nOn solving, we get $x$ = 4
\nTherefore, the quantity of milk = 5*4 = 20 litres.
\nHence, option A is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nHe sells 20% of it and mixes water to recover the milk he sold thus, the quantity of milk with him now is = 0.8X
\nHe again sells 20% of the mixture and mixes water to recover the mixture he sold thus, the quantity of milk with him now is = 0.8*0.8X=0.64X
\nFinally, he sells 50% of the mixture and mixes water to recover the mixture he sold thus, the quantity of milk with him now is = 0.64*0.5X = 0.32X
\nGiven 0.32X = 96
\nHence, X = 300L.
\nHence, option B is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nTherefore amount of A and B in X and Y is 3x, 5x and 7y, 4y respectively.
\nIf A:B = 3:2 then,
\n$ \\dfrac{3x+7y}{5x+4y} = \\dfrac{3}{2} $
\n$ 6x+14y = 15x+12y $
\n$ i.e. 2y = 9x $
\nTherefore, $ x:y = 2:9 $
\nHence, option B is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nTherefore, ratio of A:B = 31:39.
\nHence, option B is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\ni.e. 400-4x = 342\/0.9
\ni.e. 400-4x = 380
\ni.e. 4x = 20 and x = 5
\nHence, option C is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\n$\\dfrac{0.3A+0.45B+0.6C}{A+B+C} = \\dfrac{1}{2} $
\n$ 0.6A+0.9B+1.2C = A+B+C $
\n$ 2C = B+4A $
\nHence, option A is the correct answer.<\/p>\n
\nTherefore, b = $\\frac{2}{7}$ and hence a will be $\\frac{5}{7}$.
\nTherefore, $a:b$ = $5:2$.
\nTherefore, our answer is option \u2018A\u2019.<\/p>\n
\ncost price incurred = 700\/70 =10 ml\/rupee
\nFirst, he will mix water in the ratio of 2: 7 hence he will mix 200 ml of water. So total quantity of mixture will be = 700+200 = 900 ml<\/p>\n
\nSo the quantity of water mixed in this mixture = $\\frac{2}{5}*900$ = 360 ml<\/p>\n
\nSelling price = $\\frac{100}{100+25} * 10$ = 8 ml \/ rupee<\/p>\n
\nTo gain 30% on this mixture this mixture should cost him = $\\frac{100}{100+30} * 39$ = 30 per litre<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cracku.in\/media\/uploads\/09_02.PNG\")

\nThe cost price of brick powder = 0.1c.
\nLet us assume that chilli powder and brick powder are mixed in the ratio x:1.
\nTotal amount of mixture = x + 1 kg.
\nTotal cost incurred by the shopkeeper = xc + 0.1c
\nSelling price of the mixture = (x+1)*1.25*c
\nProfit realised = 50%
\n=> 1.5*(xc + 0.1c) = (x+1)*1.25c
\n1.5xc + 0.15c = 1.25xc + 1.25c
\n0.25xc = 1.1c
\n0.25x = 1.1
\n=> x = 4.4
\nTherefore, the ratio in which chilli powder and brick powder must be mixed = 4.4:1 = 22:5.
\nTherefore, option B is the right answer.<\/p>\n
\nConcentration of metal A in alloy D = 4\/(4+5) = 4\/9.<\/p>\n
\n9x = 14y
\nx\/y = 14\/9.
\nTherefore, option E is the right answer.<\/p>\n
\nAfter 20% of the mixture is sold, the quantity of milk remaining in the vessel will be 0.8*90 = 72 litres.
\nRatio of milk to water = 72:28 = 18:7.
\nTherefore, option D is the right answer.<\/p>\n
\nPrice of coffee = 1.5p
\nLet us assume that coffee and chicory are mixed in the ratio x:y.
\nWe know that he sells the mixture at the cost price of coffee and realises a profit of 20%.
\n=> Profit = 1.5p(x+y) – 1.5px – py = 0.5py
\nCost = 1.5px + py
\nProfit %age = 0.5py\/(1.5px+py)
\n0.5y\/(1.5x + y) = 0.2
\n0.5y = 0.3x + 0.2y
\n0.3x = 0.3y
\nx\/y = 1:1<\/p>\n
\nAmount of A in mixture X = 4x
\nAmount of B in mixture X = 5x
\nConcentration of A = 4\/9<\/p>\n
\nAmount of A in mixture Y = 7x
\nAmount of B in mixture Y = 2x
\nConcentration of A = 7\/9<\/p>\n
\n=> Concentration of A = 26\/(26+19) = 26\/45.<\/p>\n
\n20a + 35b = 26a + 26b
\n6a = 9b
\n=> a\/b = 3:2.
\nTherefore, option A is the right answer.<\/p>\n
