Answer» First of all, we use given QUANTITIES and place them in the FORMULA, to KNOW the required quantities. Cost of 1 kg fruit of 1ST quality = Cost price of dearer = d = Rs. 90 Cost of 1 kg fruit of 2nd quality = Cost price of cheaper = c = Rs. 50 Desired cost of 1 kg of the mixture = Mean price = m = Rs. 65 $(\begin{array}{l} Required\;rate\; = \;\frac{{Quantity\;of\;Cheaper}}{{Quantity\;of\;Dearer}}\; = \;\frac{{d - m}}{{m - c}}\\ \Rightarrow \frac{{Quantity\;of\;Cheaper}}{{Quantity\;of\;Dearer}}\; = \;\frac{{65 - 50}}{{90 - 65}}\; = \;\frac{{15}}{{25}}\; = \;\frac{3}{5} \end{array})$ ∴ The fruit seller should mix the mixture in the ratio 3 : 5 |
