In what ratio must water be mixed with milk to gain 16
% on selling the mixture at cost price?
% on selling the mixture at cost price?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let C.P. of 1 litre milk be Re. 1.
| S.P. of 1 litre of mixture = Re.1, Gain = | 50 | %. |
| 3 |
 C.P. of 1 litre of mixture = |
 |
100 x | 3 | x 1 |  |
= | 6 |
| 350 | 7 |
By the rule of alligation, we have:
| C.P. of 1 litre of water C.P. of 1 litre of milk | |||||
| 0 | Mean Price
| Re. 1 | |||
|
|
||||
| Ratio of water and milk = |
1 | : | 6 | = 1 : 6. |
| 7 | 7 |

Gain%,
So, 100 + 50/3 = 350/3.
So, 100 + 50/3 = 350/3.
