Eesha bought two varieties of rice, costing 50 Rs per kg and 60 Rs per kg and mixed them in some ratio. Then she sold the mixture at 70 Rs per kg, making a profit of 20 percent. What was the ratio of the mixture?

• Mix x:y
  cp=50x+60y
  Sp=(50x+60y)+(50x+60y)*20/100
  So,(50x+ 60y)+(50x+60y) *20/100=70(x+y)
  x:y=1:5

• Ans:- 1:5
  60-(350/6):(350/6)-50

• cp of mixture sold by eesha=350/6
  using concept of allegation
  50 60
  350/6
  10/6 50/6
  therefore
  ratio=1:5

• 120/100*x=70;
  x=58.3333
  ratio=60-58.3333/58.3333-50=1.666/8.33333=1/5=1:5

• 60*x + 70*y = 70*x +70*y ,
  So, x/y= 1/5.

• c.p= 100*70/120= 175/3
  the ratio= (175/3-50):(50-175/3) i.e1:5
• 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
• mean price(Cost price of 1 kg of mixture)= 100*70/120=175/3
  Now,
  50 60
  /
  175/3
  /
  (60-175/3) :(175/3-50) =5/3:25/3 = 1:5
  So 1:5 is the answer.
