:
Tea worth of Rs. 135/kg & Rs. 126/kg are mixed with a third variety in the ratio 1: 1 : 2. If the
mixture is worth Rs. 153 per kg, the price of the third variety per kg will be____?
A) Rs. 169.50 B) Rs.1700
C) Rs. 175.50 D) Rs. 180

Answer & ExplanationAnswer: C) Rs. 175.50
Explanation:
Since first second varieties are mixed in equal proportions, so their average price = Rs.
= Rs.130.50
So, Now the mixture is formed by mixing two varieties, one at Rs. 130.50 per kg and the other at
say Rs. 'x' per kg in the ratio 2 : 2, i.e., 1 : 1. We have to find 'x'.
Cost of 1 kg tea of 1st kind Cost of 1 kg tea of 2nd kind
x-153/22.50 = 1 => x - 153 = 22.50 => x=175.50.
Hence, price of the third variety = Rs.175.50 per kg.

Q:
A can contains a mixture of two liquids A and B in the ratio 7 : 5. When 9 litres of mixture are
drawn off and the can is filled with B, the ratio of A and B becomes 7 : 9. How many litres of
liquid A was contained by the can initially?
A) 10 B) 20
C) 21 D) 25
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: C) 21
Explanation:
Suppose the can initially contains 7x and 5x litres of mixtures A and B respectively
Quantity of A in mixture left = litres.
Quantity of B in mixture left = litres.
So, the can contained 21 litres of A.

Q:
A merchant has 1000 kg of sugar part of which he sells at 8% profit and the rest at 18% profit.
He gains 14% on the whole. The Quantity sold at 18% profit is
A) 400 kg B) 560 kg
C) 600 kg D) 640 kg
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: C) 600 kg
Explanation:
By the rule of alligation:

Profit of first part Profit of second part
So, ratio of 1st and 2nd parts = 4 : 6 = 2 : 3.
Quantity of 2nd kind = (3/5 x 1000)kg = 600 kg.

Q:
A vessel is filled with liquid, 3 parts of which are water and 5 parts of syrup. How much of the
mixture must be drawn off and replaced with water so that the mixture may be half water and
half syrup?
A) 1/3 B) 1/4
C) 1/5 D) 1/7
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: C) 1/5
Explanation:
Suppose the vessel initially contains 8 litres of liquid.
Let x litres of this liquid be replaced with water.

Quantity of water in new mixture = litres.
Quantity of syrup in new mixture = litres.

=> 5x + 24 = 40 - 5x
=> 10x = 16 => x = 8/5
So, part of the mixture replaced = = 1/5.

Q:
How many kilograms of sugar costing Rs. 9 per kg must be mixed with 27 kg of sugar costing
Rs. 7 per Kg so that there may be a gain of 10 % by selling the mixture at Rs. 9.24 per Kg ?
A) 36 Kg B) 42 Kg
C) 54 Kg D) 63 Kg
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: D) 63 Kg
Explanation:

C.P. of 1 kg sugar of 1st kind C.P. of 1 kg sugar of 2nd kind
Ratio of quantities of 1st and 2nd kind = 14 : 6 = 7 : 3.
Let x kg of sugar of 1st kind be mixed with 27 kg of 2nd kind.

Then, 7 : 3 = x : 27 or x = (7 x 27 / 3) = 63 kg.

Q:
A mixture of 150 liters of wine and water contains 20% water. How much more water should be
added so that water becomes 25% of the new mixture?
A) 10 liters B) 20 liters
C) 30 liters D) 40 liters
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) 10 liters
Explanation:
Number of liters of water in 125 liters of the mixture = 20% of 150 = 1/5 of 150 = 30 liters
Let us Assume that another 'P' liters of water are added to the mixture to make water 25% of the
new mixture. So, the total amount of water becomes (30 + P) and the total volume of the mixture
becomes (150 + P)
Thus, (30 + P) = 25% of (150 + P)
Solving, we get P = 10 liters

Q:
The ratio of petrol and kerosene in the container is 3:2 when 10 liters of the mixture is taken out
and is replaced by the kerosene, the ratio become 2:3. Then total quantity of the mixture in the
container is:
A) 25 B) 30
C) 45 D) cannot be determined
Explanation:
pool : kerosene
3 : 2(initially)
2 : 3(after replacement)
(for petrol)
Therefore the total quantity of the mixture in the container is 30 liters.
Q:
A milk man sells the milk at the cost price but he mixes the water in it and thus he gains 9.09%.
The quantity of water in the mixture of 1 liter is :
A) 83.33 ml B) 90.90 ml
C) 99.09 ml D) can't be determined

Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) 83.33 ml
Explanation:
Profit (%) = 9.09 % =
Since the ratio of water and milk is 1 : 11,

Therefore the ratio of water is to mixture = 1:12
Thus the quantity of water in mixture of 1 liter = = 83.33 ml

Q:
The cost of Type 1 rice is Rs. 15 per kg and Type 2 rice is Rs.20 per kg. If both Type 1 and Type
2 are mixed in the ratio of 2 : 3, then the price per kg of the mixed variety of rice is
A) Rs. 19.50 B) Rs. 19
C) Rs. 18 D) Rs. 18.50

Answer & ExplanationAnswer: C) Rs. 18
Explanation:
Let the price of the mixed variety be Rs. x per kg. By the rule of alligation, we have :
Cost of 1 kg of type 1 rice Cost of 1 kg of type 2 rice
(20-x)/(x-15) = 2/3 60 - 3x = 2x - 30
5x = 90 x = 18.

Q:
From a container, 6 liters milk was drawn out and was replaced by water. Again 6 liters of
mixture was drawn out and was replaced by the water. Thus the quantity of milk and water in the
container after these two operations is 9:16. The quantity of mixture is:
A) 15 B) 16
C) 25 D) 31
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) 15
Explanation:
Let quantity of mixture be x liters.
Suppose a container contains x units of liquid from which y units are taken out and replaced by
water. After operations , the quantity of pure liquid = units, Where n = no of
operations .
So, Quantity of Milk =
Given that, Milk : Water = 9 : 16
Milk : (Milk + Water) = 9 : (9+16)
Milk : Mixture = 9 : 25

Q:
How many liters of oil at Rs.40 per liter should be mixed with 240 liters of a second variety of
oil at Rs.60 per liter so as to get a maximum whose cost is Rs.52 per liter ?
Answer
Apply Allegation Method and first calculate the ratio in which they have to be mixed.
= 8 : 12 = 2 : 3
Thus, the two varieties of oil should be mixed in the ratio 2 : 3. So, if 240 liters of the second
variety are taken, then 160 liters of the first variety should be taken.
