ALLIGATIONS AND MIXTURES

23. a jar contained a mixture of of two liquids A and B in the ratio 4:1 .when the 10 liters of mixture is
taken out and 10 liters of liquid B was poured in to the jar .this ratio be came 2:3 the quality of liquid A
contained in the jar initially was.

(4,8,16,40 )

Here mixture is taken out so first find how much quantity of A and B is taken out

10 liters of mixture in which A and B liquid was in 4:1. Means 8 liters of A and 2 liters of liquid B has
taken out .

So equation could be

(4x-8)/x-2 +10 = 2/3

24. in a mixture of 75 liters ,the ratio of milk to water is 2:1 the amount of water to be further added to
the mixture so as to make the ratio of the milk to water 1:2 will be

45 60 75 80

In 75 liters milk to water ratio is 2:1 means milk is 50 liters and water is 25liters if I say the amount of
water to be added is x

50/ 25+x =1/2

25.two types of alloys posses gold and silver in the ratio of 7:22 and and 21: 37 in what ratio should this
alloys to be mixed so as to have a new alloy in which gold and sliver will exist in the ratio 25:62?

13:8,8:13,13:12,6:9

In the first alloy gold is 7 /7+22 = 7/29

In the second alloy silver is 21/21+37 = 21 / 58

In the mixture gold is 25/ 25+62 = 25/ 87

Using alligations
 7/29 21/58

25/87

( 25/87 – 21/58) ( 7/29-25/87)

26 . A mixture of 40 liters of milk and water contains 10% of water .how much water must be added to
make the water 20% in the new mixture ?

10,7,5,3

40 liter mixture 10% of water is 4 and remaining 90% means 36 liters of milk .

Water 20% means in total 100 liters of mixture 80 liters milk and 20 liters of water

That is x is required water

Then 36/4+x = 4/1 x= 5

27. A mixture contains wine and water in the ratio 3:2 and another mixture contains them in the ratio
4:5 how many liters of latter must be mixed with 3 liters of the former so that the resulting mixture may

Contain equal quantities of wine and water

27/5 ,27/3, 9/2 ,15/4

First mixture contains wine and water in the ratio 3:2 means wine is 3/5

Second mixture contains wine 4/9

28. the ratio in which tea costing Rs 192 per kg is to be mixed with tea costing rs 150 per kg so that the
mixed tea when sold for rs 194.4 gives a profit of 20% is

2:5

3:5

5:3

5:2

First quanitity costprice is 192

Second quantity cost price is 150

20% = 1/5 means 5 cos price profit 1 selling price 1+5 =6

For 6 parts of selliprice is equlalent to 194.4

For 1 194.4 /6

For 5 - 194.4*5/6= 32.4* 5= 162

29.A shopkeeper bought 15 kg of rice at the rate of rupees 29 per kg and 25kg of rice at the rate of rs 20
per kg he sold the mixture of both types of rice at the rate of rs 27 per kg his profit in this transaction is

125

150

140

145

Total cost price =15 kg per 29 per kg + 25 kg per 20 rs per kg

= 15*29+25*20 = 450-15+500=935

Both means 40 kg he sold for 27 per kg means selling price is 27* 40 =1080

Profit = 145
30. A can contains a mixture of two liquids a and b in the ratio 7:5 when 9 liters of mixture is drained off
And the can is filled with B of 9 liters and the ratio of A and B become s 7:9 how many liters of A was
contained by the can initially ?

9 liters of mixture removed means in that (7/12)*9 is A and (5/12 )*9 is of B

And 9 liters of B is added means

7x - 63/13 = 7/9 then x is 3 and initially we have 7*3 means 21 liters are there initiall

5x-45/12 + 9
