A milkman mixed 10 liters of water to 50 litres of milk of Rs.16 per liter, then cost price of mixture per liter is

a) Rs.15.16
b) Rs.13.33
c) Rs.15
d) Rs.14.23

• Answer is 13. 33
  Let price of water per liter be re. 1
  ((10*1)+(50*16))/60 =13.33

• Total mixture = 10w + 50m = 60
  Total S.P= 16*60= Rs.960 @ Rs.16/lit
  Now one can easily see in the statement that the milkman will get profit of 10 litres.
  So, Gain = 10*60= Rs.160
  Also, Gain = SP - CP
  160=960-CP
  CP = 800 for 60litres
  so CP for 1 litre = 800/60 = 13.33. ANS
