Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Cost of 1 kg tea of box A (cheaper) = Rs.300
Cost of 1 kg tea of box B (dearer) = Rs.400
Formula used:
Rule of alligation
Calculation:
Let the mean price be Rs. X
So, (Cheaper quantity) : (Dearer quantity) = (d- m) : (m - c) = (400 - X) : (X - 300)
According to question,
Given ratio = 5/6
So, 5/6 = (400 - X)/(X- 300)
⇒ 11x = 3,900
⇒ x = 354.54 ≈ 355
∴ The price of mixture of 1 kg tea is Rs.355
